What really sucks is the fact that one bad test grade will drop your grade 5% and one great test grade will raise it back up .285%... so basically school sucks.

They ask you what you want to be... you tell them. They tell you you’re too young to know. You ask them what they do... they tell you that you wouldn’t understand. Often my experience in science/healthcare.
