In my nice Flash voice

Thank goodness I never had to study to get the grades "I" wanted I could pull A's and B's no problem without any work
Mom, however, wanted better
My Junior year in Advanced Mathematics I did 2 homework assignments ALL YEAR. Blew the teacher's mind when they were both in the same week He even quit calling my name every day when he was collecting them Still had a B when I finished
But it was harder work getting my grades back up when I slacked off than it EVER was to keep them there from the start. Good Luck!!

in HS. Made (making) a 3.8 in college (and in honors classes). Kind nice when the teacher treat you like a human being. My 4 grade teacher told me I would never graduate. She was almost right.

I gradimatated HS with a 67 (out of 100% - 65% was passing) I graduated College with 3.88! My Mom still thinks I cheated, all I did was actually apply myself, so Iker get in there and hit the books. You will be happier in the end.

Ya, 9 periods a day is alot. I've only got 7. I'm in 2 honers classes and have all b's. Just gotta study, thats it. Its not worth it to not study, you will be in school for 12 years maybe 16 or more. They say today a college education is worth $$1 million, It may not be what you wanna do now but in 10 years down the road and your makin 2x as much as an engineer it will be worth it.

9th Grade - Algebra
10th Grade - Algebra II and Geometry
11th Grade - Elementary Analysis / Trigonometry and Computer Math
12th Grade - AP Calculus
Of course, I've forgotten much of the Calculus because I rarely use it.
Basically, I was just a natural born genius.
Of course, then I got to college where I actually had to TEACH myself how to study. Never had to do that studying stuff in high school. Still managed to walk out of A&M with a 3.7 GPA though.

I never studied once until I got up here. I made a's and b's all through middle and highschool and even earned an academic letter jacket my junior year. Boy, am I regretting not learning how to study now. Well, time to get back to studying. Got a finance exam tomorrow.

Oh yeah ?? well I never cracked a book either. After lookin at my report card ... it ain't hard to believe !!
I didn't understood why I needed to know how long a shadow of a 50 foot tall tree was .... until I learned how to machine gears in the Navy some 10 years later. Whole lotta algebra and trig in that job.
Sure would've been easier if I had paid attention in school. Keep at it Iker.
