Grades, grades and grades is all I hear. They're just the letters A,B,C,D, and F, and in the future they'll fade. I see students such as myself stress and metaphorically kill myself, when in reality I should be calm and have some needed rest. Humans are shaped based on personality. but it seems that humans are shaped by Grades. A letter that can decide if you're "accepted" into an institution, a job, and some Scholarships. Some students work the best of their ability and receive grades that do not "fit the requirement" because societies expectations are high of students. No student is perfect, so accept a student's best work before their mind is a wreck. Being turned down numerous times for scholarships and interships is as depressing as a newly wed couple losing a precious ring. Long nights of studying and reading is the new way of being "accepted".
