i transferred. i still slept and didnt give a shit, but i actually did my work. my gpa kicked up to a 3.51 with an avarge grade of 92%. my combined gpa's equal a mere 2.68
god, i was an apathetic little fucker.
these kids must be trying less than i did.
oh, and yeah. im pretty sure a D was a passing grade.

Sounds like my story. I think alot of kids are lazy, but I think most people need to be pushed and need to be challenged to do well. A D average was a passing grade at both high schools I attended, but not at the college my mother works at. My first highschool was a catholic school, and the second was a charter school, so I think people are lazy accross the socio-economic spectrum.
