I never did well in school because I didnt like the idea that something in a textbook was supposed to be true just because it was in a textbook so i never read them/ did homework/ anything other than draw or sleep

And I got me a diploma! The system works!

I won 200 dollars in grade 11 for being the student with the highest grades in the school sytem.


I graduated high school with a 78% average. In Canada that's a B+.



I was great at everything except calculus and Statistics.






I was alot like redmongoose though. I would mock the textbooks with great vengeance.

for my first two yrs of high school i tried really hard

then in the middle of junior yr i was like "wait i dont need to try and i can still get good grades"

so i slacked off like crazy in junior and senior yr but still somehow managed a 4.6 GPA in high school

now i have a 3.54 at UCLA. i havent done a single page of reading in college, ive either relied on sparknotes or have just completely bullshitted my way through everything

ive never got a C in anything

I used to do good at school from hard work. But when i hit the second year of junior high, i started skipping classes because i lost interest in generally everything, and i failed one after another in math. I had like 5 straight fails in math tests in a whole year and the next one but i luckily survived the blows to continue at high school. I still suck. Like recently, i failed at the finals in math TWICE. Now i gotta pay up for a new exam and PASS this time so i can head towards university.

I pulled my ass together and did well last year on the rest, only the math is a bitch. Therefore, ive been employed for a whole year to this day.

not that hard to figure out!!

91-100 A
81-90 B
71-80 C
60-70 D
59 and lower F

the +'s and -'s are applied accordingly!!
Title: how good at school are you
Post by: trent bortknob on March 8, 2008 02:55 AM
personally i classify 90 and above as an A and 80 above as a B and 70 above as a C

D's and F's are pointless because they both mean you failed just one means you failed worse

about 75% of the score of my grades were on course work, unfortunately mine was "lacking" in the sense of it barely existed, if at all. I got the G in design technology, i was designing a traditional chinese bungalow (including a scaled model). My work was destroyed "mysteriously" near the day of marking, the same happened to my art (since theyre were kept in the same area).

You know what, that's what I get from my family. Because I got average grade (considered to be low in my country by the way) I had to struggle really hard when applying for my university.

The Asian culture and Western culture is totally different when applying for jobs. The Western are looking more at your "achievements" (at least that's what I think, correct me if I'm wrong) while in Asia education background plays a primary role in deciding who will get the job.

This is one of the reason why you see so many Asians working aboard because of this annoying traditional standard and this is why in Asian countries we got tons of cram schools (just like in the anime where you see many characters go to cram school.)

Are you a transexual stripper? I here you guys have lots of those. I'm being serious, is the rumour true?
Title: how good at school are you
Post by: Sonni on March 8, 2008 07:24 PM
Yes, I'm totally HAWT!

Ok on a serious note, no I'm not. And about the transsexual strippers (known as "kathoeys") the majority of them are in Pattaya and in Bangkok, they can be found at the "red light district." To tell you the truth I have no idea what the heck actually contributes to the increase in number of these transsexuals. Traditionally, we never endorse this kind of thing.

There's this thing which happens to a certain friend I knew, he went to a night club and managed to hook up with a cute lady but soon later found out that the lady was in fact a trap.

Scary.

well it really depends on what you're going for. but it's always a perk to have been involved in an internship or shadow program where you have already had some kind of experience in your field. they'll take someone who has experience over someone who has the grades. but one thing is for sure - if you don't have a diploma, you are NOT getting a job.
