I almost felt as if I were a new student, wandering around the school by myself with no one to sit with at lunch. Lucky for me I go to a small high school where I can just bother my little sister.

    My first day of middle school was hell, I have always been good at school. My grades have never been bad and neither have my actions and or attendance. Probably from having a mom that is also a teacher. I look at that as a good thing though, watching kids just goof off and not come to school then high school rolled around and it was like I got to look down on them because they did not prepare for bigger and better things. School wasn't bad for me because it was hard, it was bad because i was always shy in school.…

    College students are no longer working hard to get a good grade in class because they have become accustomed to getting higher grades than they deserve. Grade inflation is the main cause of this way of thinking. Unsurprisingly, grade inflation in schools has become a subject that some have chosen to argue. An article entitled, “Grade Inflation Gone Wild,” by Stuart Rojstaczer, a former professor of geophysics at Duke University who has a PhD in Applied Earth Science, publisher of a book entitled Gone for Good: Tales for University Life After the Golden Age, and another article entitled, “Doesn’t Anybody Get a C Anymore?” by Phil Primack, an analyst, editor a journalist who teaches Journalism at M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service, both suggests that grade inflation is problematic for college students today. On the contrary, there are some who believe that grade inflation is due in part to students being smarter nowadays than they were in the past.…

One specific example of this took place during my freshman year of high school. When I started high school it was very challenging for me, partially due to the fact that; during this time, I was lazy, unmotivated and did not really take school seriously. This by far is one of my biggest regrets to this day. Who would ever think that not trying during my freshman year would continue to follow me throughout the course of my academic career.…
