Let's face it.  It would be nice to pick up your report card and see a list of A's staring back at you.  But it doesn't always happen that way.  And sometimes getting less than an A can be pretty disappointing.

The truth is, people put far too much emphasis on grades.  School isn't for acquiring high averages.  It's about learning.  School is a place where you prepare for life as a grown-up.  And just because you are not a great test taker, or raising your hand in class makes you nervous, doesn't mean you don't have a huge store of knowledge in your head - knowledge that is sure to come in handy someday.

More important than what your grades say is what your heart says.  Do you go to school each day eager to gather new information?  Do you try your hardest to study, pay attention, and do the work?  Are you satisfied with your work?  If you can answer yes to those questions, then you've got a 4.0 average where it really counts.
