Academic achievement is entirely a measure of how well you're able to play the game, and has little to do with intellect until you reach the highest levels, and even then you can be a little less intelligent if you are very very good at the game (whereas you cannot be very intelligent and bad at the game).
So yeah, you weren't very good at the game. I wasn't either. Own that, and stop making excuses!
