I am actually smart, just lazy as **** if I actually pay attention and take notes in math, I would not be getting this grade, $@#$@#$@#$@# I have had the lazy problem since like 5th grade...

Whos on the same boat as me?

Dave, I had a moment of clarity my sophomore year of high school, I saw a single C. It didn't make me think that school was dumb it made me realize that I was a darn fool. School sucks, oh trust me, many of us think it. Teachers are forced to teach to the slowest students which leaves people who want to excel bored. My realization was that by slacking off I was the slowest. From that point on I was not a straight A student but I did the work. I paid attention. Yeah, school was still boring but at least I didn't have to listen to teachers berate me about how I could be doing better.

Now that my advice is done I have to comment on the specifics. David, with these grades you would not be travelling with any of the teams I am involved in. You would not be building, the only reason you would be in the shop was so we could make sure you were being tutored in the material you were lacking. This would continue until your teachers informed us that your grades were acceptable to them or they were all above C's. Why would we do this? Because if you screw around now and get crap grades you will screw around later and get crap grades in college and YOU don't want that. Plus, grades like this make you look like a fool, a darn fool. Are you a fool?
