That grades in elementary and middle school actually matter. I had a 45 in my 5th grade history class at one point, and I LOVED history. I just didn’t like having to memorize the preamble to the constitution and other pointless things my school made us do. I now read and study history on my own and know far more history than the average person—u/jonahvsthewhale

Two things: Keep these papers they’re important don’t lose them (I ended up hoarding papers all the way from 1st grade to senior year of high school) If you ever get a C or into a fight or cheat you’ll never go to College and you’ll be blacklisted from applying or attending any of them.
I didnt really think of the impact these things had on me and suffice to say I feel like I’m worse off for it.—u/TurkyBLTSandwich
