SAT score:1250.

Since I believe there is more to life than just tests and grades, I won't go into any more depth about that wretched test or if I am happy or unhappy with it.It's hard to think like that sometimes, that there is actually more to life than just trying to get good grades on everything and working so hard that you miss out on the real important things. It is ok to work hard to get good grades, it can be satisfying, but worrying about things that are out of your control is ridiculous. The simpler things in life can be more gratifying than any test or great grade you will ever get, like walking through the snow at night. Simple, but has the amazing effect of making you think about things you normally wouldn't.......it gives you a strange self satisfaction that you are alone, freezing, and happy. I have always believed that simple conversation is one of the most gratifying things in life, connecting with another person on a level that you have never even approached with other people is just amazing. You feel really good after a great conversation. Winter is my favorite time of year for a few reasons, the cold, the snow, but mostly for how winter smells. Yeah I know, winter doesn't have a "smell" per say.....but it is just great to breathe in and have the cold just envelop you, it can't be described but I'm sure you all know what I am talking about. All I'm saying out of this entire mess is that grades don't mean a damn thing at the end of the day, knowledge is only good if you can use it in your life, and just live your life outside of a grading system. The only person that should be grading your freaking life is yourself, because you and only you know how you are actually doing. You know if you hate a subject and you know if you actually understand what people are trying to say. I hate getting a report card for this reason, other people see letters on a piece of paper and assume they know how I am doing in each subject. That is shit, they don't know if I actually put any effort into some subjects or a huge amount of effort into another. They just see a letter that is supposed to symbolize my achievement, and judge me. Even if the report card is good, I freaking hate it. They make a big deal over some grades, good or bad, and you know what......I really couldn't care. I just do the stuff asked of me best I can, learn, and then move onto better things in life because believe me there are better things in life. Everyone judges, but judging by letter just seems like a crap move because no one could possibly see what you went through to get that letter, and how people who control your higher education see your stupid damn letters and see if they want you to come or not. There are simply more important things in life, and I suggest that people not get an ulcer in high school over it.......and just go outside and walk in the snow, relax, and think about life.
