What do most colleges look at? Your 9th grade year (grades) the most?

Question:on my 9th grade year i pretty much got on my report card a GPA of 80% to 85%. I didnt do my best on my 9th grade year.
But would any college not accept me because of this?
I wanted to go to Penn State or University of Phoenix or maybe some other college...
*** Im worried, About this and im going to try to do better on my 10th, through 12th grade years and try to get a GPA of 90% to 95% ***

Answers:
Colleges typically do not look at your freshman year. They only check to see if you pass. The 10-12 academic G.P.A. is what they look at the most.
So you are at 9th grade, I guess 15 years old and you give me your pity advice, the adult who is 20 years old, sophmore at undergraduate program? Geez At your age it is natural to always listen to your parents. But wait till you finish high school. How would you feel if you wanted to become doctor, but your parents want you to be bank accountant because they think medical school is too expensive for you? Imagine that at this point you finished community college near your home and you have to transfer to 4-year state college far away from your home? You really would then prefer to clean homes full-time or waitressing instead on continuing education? I know you have good intention and you wanted me give the best answer, but yours is totallly wrong and I will not consider it. I am sorry to say that but I feel pity for you for your answer!
