Getting a B is unforgivable. Life is fading away from my very eyes, is it still worth living for? How could I ever do this? I have failed, let everybody down, I am eternally screwed until the very day I die. The amount of money I would give to get an A, the people I will destroy in my path to get an A, I will sacrifice everything I have saved up and looked forward to, and much more, for an A. Thousands of dollars will be spent to get that filthy, no life B changed to the celebrated war hero A. My sanity is at stake, and my privilege is supreme. "As my eyes glaze overall I can see is the B becoming fuzzy in my vision. I have gone to hell and back to get A's and I have made enemies. Many enemies have been made through this treacherous path. This is for the singular purpose of completion and to be superior to all." And also dives them away from me.
My grades compensate for my lack of social life.
My grades control me like a puppeteer
My grades are the number in which I am defined by society
And finally, my grades are the reason why I drive my friends to insanity
I'm not happy, I'm not sad, just disappointed in myself because of the pain a B can cause to me.
It is depressing to see truly how much our lives revolve around getting good grades. Society as a whole largely values getting good grades and thus it is challenging to change what society values. How would you go about creating this change?
