All students have their eyes on one thing: good grades. They over-burden themselves with textbooks and notes, sacrificing a healthy diet and a good night's sleep. All they want to achieve is success in tests and exams. Pressure from parents and teachers and the desire to be praised drives them to the extremes. Why can't adults accept the fact that not all children can be good at everything? Do grades really matter? I feel like universities have a very superficial criteria of acceptance. They only like to look at grade sheets and a candidate's potential is over-looked. Years from now our grades won't be all that matters. I'm not saying that grades don't matter at all, it's just that there's more to life than straight As. I myself attained straight As but i don't go around boasting or putting others down. We should look beyond a person's grades because they don't represent a person's personality or even intelligence. What matters is how someone conducts themselves.
