Actively working to improve your grades and studies makes you feel so much better than a B+. It’s the effort that counts.

Pretty bad student all of high school and I’m now in college. Realized that I need to try a lot harder and now I’m on the dean’s list. I work for a tutoring center and sit for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week before I even do my own homework on top of a full load of classes. I’m studying law and I’m working to get a 4.0 and go to law school. I’m tired all the time and I barely have time to do anything with my friends but it’s just so satisfying knowing that I’m finally making the effort and that all my hard work pays off whenever I look at my grades and get straight A’s.
