I am sure there will be more bumps in the road but he has come a long long way very quickly. Unfortunately he also has a long way to go!
My son had the same issues his freshman year. He had good grades in HS, but it came real easily for him. I cant count on one hand how often he ever had to bring books home or really do any kind of studying for a test. Things changed real quick in college....a lot more work, more time consuming, oh...and this thing called baseball that took up a lot of time lol. He didn't have a great freshman year grade wise, but figured things out and is doing great now. Your son will get used to it....
