So, how bout nem' grades huh?

For my 10th blog post I wanted to talk about my grades, so I will. The reason why I want to talk about grades is because this is a blog created only for academical reasons, which leads me to believe that there is no better place to talk about how angry opening my Skyward makes me.

Every week I open my Skyward at least once because I believe that something awaits me; it may not be good, but nonetheless, there's something in there that is always needing my view. Yet when I open my Skyward I'm constantly disappointed because even though I get good grades, somehow when you add up the numbers (no matter how hard I try) the latter grade always either goes down or stays the same. That's the reason for why I don't put my full effort into school, because once I have a bad grade it will always end up being a bad grade in the end of the year, and when I get a good grade I know that it will eventually go down to an okay grade. What I'm trying to say is that I don't fail because I'm dumb, or because I don't pay attention in class, or because I socialize too much during class, no; I fail because I want to, because I know what I'm capable of academically, and I know that the grade system in most schools is designed to fail students like me.  So the way I see it, is that if my hard work isn't rewarded, then I won't work as hard next time, and if that means bringing my grade down, then may it go down in peace, but I will not work my a** off in school only to have my grades brought down by the tiny little details which make up most of the corrupt on way street that the grade system truly is.

Despite I am truly, one hundred percent aware of what I just said, I am going to keep trying hard at school because I promised myself I'd make it to honor roll this semester, that's a 3.3 GPA, and even though right now I'm probably at a range from a 3 to a 3.2 GPA, I'm going to give it one more shot at the allegedly functional "Word and study hard to get good grades" system, because honestly, I need better grades, and I know I can get them.
