about college
I wouldn't be discouraged if your grades aren't amazing.
I'm barely keeping over 3.5 and my folks aren't too impressed, but when you're taking lots of credits toward a degree, and you want to have a life at the same time, it's pretty tough.
Wasn't Bush a C average? and he became president. Not the best, sure, but it's something isn't it?
I think grades are important to a certain degree (at least passing your classes), but I think it's harsh to say that one shouldn't go to college if they're not going to ace everything. I do understand that it's something we're paying for (I'm going to be paying off my loans for a lifetime), but isn't part of it for our own self growth?
I hope that made some kind of sense. :s
I don't mean to take anyone down either, just my two cents. >_>
