Grades...

Hello!

Today I want to talk about something that seems so real yet is so meaningless in the big scheme of things. Grades. Sometimes when I get grades back from teachers, it makes me feel as if I am on top of the world, where at other times it makes me want to clam up and sulk. It's around the time that report cards are coming out, and although I was happy with mine this year, there have been times where it has gotten me down. You need to remember that although good grades are something we all strive for, they don't mean *everything* in life. A good tip is to set goals for the future, go to extra help when necessary, an talk to your teachers about how you can study better. If this time you feel on top of the world, congrats! Go have fun and treat yourself, but remember not to brag or make anyone feel bad about how they did.
