Help! Will this ruin my future?

I really want to be an orthodontist but... :( this year i got a C+ in biology! (10th grade) will this hinder me beoming an orthodonist/ getting into a dental school/ or even a good college?
Answer:
As a dentist myself I can tell you that in my first couple of years in high school I got a couple of C's in science classes. What you need to focus on is your 11th and 12th grade studies...take as many science (biology, chemistry, anatomy) as you can. Also talk to your high school guidance counselor, he/she will be able to get you in contact with pre-dental and dental schools and you will be able to see what classes are required. Also check the American Dental Association website, there is A LOT of useful information on dental careers. Good luck!!www.ada.org
OMG!! You got a C. Your totally fine.
not at all, work hard in grade 11 and 12 and if necessary, you can always take a summer school class between grad and college. calm down buddy!
Nooo! Just keep going. Finish High School. Get good grades in college. High school grades only help you get into a good college. Better college your in, people would want to work with you more. =]
no, don't fret you'll be fine. make sure you work really hard the next two years and everything will be ok.
did you pass the class? there is much more involved in med school than a high school science class. talk to your counselor and one at a local university.
You've clearly not gotten that low a grade before. Don't even worry about it. One grade never does anything. You can even afford to fail a class and still get into a good college. But don't let it be a pattern. Too many C's can hurt you.
