Grades Do Not Define A Person

“Grades do not define a person.” That’s what they say.

So now I am here again in front of my blog letting out the negative energy to calm my mind. I am not saying that I am very frustrated about my grades. It is just that I don’t know what to feel now. Should I be disappointed because I am not used to seeing this type of grades? Or should I not question my efforts because one good reason is the 65% percent passing grade that is now applied in school?

                Why will I get mad if I am not the only one having this type of grades? Worse, others might have lower grades than I do. Maybe I just need a little more adjustment to the new wave of change happening in my high school year (Ugh! Will my high school life get any worse?). But hey! These are just grades… these are just grades… JUST grades.

                JUST GRADES. These two words, when combined may have several meanings to others. So let me tell you what these words mean to me. First, “just” doesn’t mean something to be underestimated… especially not grades. Second, “just grades” doesn’t mean “Hey, I got low grades! Whatever!” Third, “just grades” means that it’s a part of a student’s life which is something to be taken seriously but not to the point of committing suicide or whatever. JUST GRADES means that it is important and you have to do an excellent job to achieve it but once you flunked, you don’t need to slap your face, stomp the floor or create some annoying thud noise to let the whole world know that you are mad (If you will ever do that, ask yourself who are you mad at: the teacher or yourself?)

                So I guess I don’t really have hard enough feelings because of my grades. I still have three quarters to prove I am worthy. So there is no valid reason to mourn. NO REASON.

                And lastly, JUST GRADES means…. GRADES DO NOT DEFINE A PERSON, OKAY???
