Dear K,
Although it is said that the past in an indicator of the future, however you should not extend events in the past to situations which are yet to happen and where you have the ability to make a contribution in changing the outcome.
Having said that, the good thing is you know your strong and weak points and all you need is to work on attendance (with better class participation) and be more regular in handing over your assignments.
From my own experience as a student, sometimes if you simply walk up to the tutors and explain to them your challenges and difficulties and seek their advice, it makes them feel respected and their concerns/comments about you acknowledged. With that, they can help you as well as turn a kind eye whilst evaluating your assignments/papers. It may or may not work, but courtesy, respect and some nice talk with teachers/superiors always bears good results.
And last of all and may be most importantly, as others have pointed out, you need to stand fast and give it all in... Once you have given all you have, then and only then you can succeed. God forbid, even if there is a failure/setback, you would know inside your heart that you did your best and there was nothing else that you could have done to make it any better.
Good luck and stand your ground kid!

I have been attending since September 2014 and I like college. However, I'm struggling with it still. Specifically with one class - which has a massive number of people in it and the subject it's self is draining and dull and I lack the motivation to do the homework/work. So my attendance for that subject is around 60%. Not great, I know. But my other two subjects have a 80% (psychology) and 95% (law) and in both of those I am achieving A-B grades. We just had our report.
Last year, in the weeks before I dropped out/was kicked out - more a mutal agreement than anything - I recieved a letter saying; "You are invited to attend a support meeting with myself (head of A-Levels) and your progress tutor, on _____ (date)." Well, that 'support meeting' turned out to be a 'we don't think you're going to do well' meeting, and I just recieved the same letter today.
I'm sat in tears now. I don't know what to do. This was my last shot at A-Levels and I highly doubt university is an option for me if I have failed college twice and don't have any A-Levels. I'm so screwed. I can't stop panicking now, this makes me not want to go into college at all even though I'd just be proving their point.
