How Grades Affect Your Life

When we think about grades we just remember high school and in some cases college. But sometimes we don't really see how grades affect our life and how they can change our future. Sometimes we don't even think about it until someone ask us or says something about it. 

Future

Grades affect you doesn't matter if you are in high school or college. They dictate your future. If you get bad grades in high school then you get into a crappy college or university and have to spend money on remedial classes and stuff like that. Some people even quit just for that. And is understandable at some point. In the other hand, if you have good grades you can have more possibilities of getting with what you want. You get to where you want to be faster but not easier necessarily. 

Is not easy to get good grades I know that but sometimes we have to really give up our free time and other stuff in order to study more to get an A or a B or even a C. Also, some teachers just make it harder. It's like they are there just to make sure you fail the class or something. Some of them don't even teach what they are supposed to or don't answer your questions and expect you to get a high grade on the tests and quizzes. But some people just have to show them that it doesn't matter what they do, if they teach or they don't. At the end they are going to pass the class because they care. 

Friends

This is the moment when you know if you have a real friend. If you have a friend in the same class and you are a good student and you get good grades then you will notice some change. They always rely on you not because you are just a good friend but because they want you to give them the answers to homeworks, so then they will have a good grade as you have in the class. But when you have projects and stuff that they can do on their own they will not even ask you if you want to do a group or do it together or if you need some help. And in the worst of the cases, even criticize your projects and how you did them. Sometimes you need to ask yourself like is this really what a friend says or does?

No everyone you know will do this but  just be careful. You might even realize how that being happening for a while and you didn't even notice or gave it a thought. And when that happens, you need to make some changes in your life if you really don't want some fake people around you. Not everyone who is with you is there because they just want to be your friend. They are just some people who want to be friends in order to use you. As a matter of fact some people will take all they can from you if you let them do it.

Family

Your parents are always nagging and arguing about your grades it doesn't matter if they are good or bad.  I think this is part of their roles as parents. They just want to argue and make a show out every situation. So I personally recommend you not to stress over stuff like that. Do the best you can and do it because for you not for them. Like they can't make you smart, they don't do your homework, they don't take your classes, or go to school for you. Like is not bad to want to make your parents proud of you I get that. But don't do stuff because you want to please others. Look for self-satisfaction.
