Based on my own experience I have a different conception about what was school and grades for me. During my formation as a student in middle and high school I didn't pay attention to any of the classes that I took. Therefore, I wasn’t committed to work to get good grades. Without a doubt this is something that every parent will feel very disappointed if their kids are not doing well in school. However, that wasn’t my case.
When I finished school I was accepted in the State University of Puerto Rico which just let get in about 9% of all students that applies to get in. In fact, being accepted in that institution that selects every student based on higher standards was a surprise to me. On the other hand, my classmates in high school were having a similar attitude towards grades like me as well. However, when finally I get into university environment I changed my attitude towards school. Undeniable, I changed my view towards school due to competition that I experienced when I get into college. It was that environment full of people committed with their own and also with their family which enabled me to change my mind and work hard to be someone in the future.
In conclusion, my experience toward school was very weird. But, today I can see that I did something good for myself. Now, I finished a bachelor and I’m working on a masters. Without a doubt I will go for a PHD in a future. Therefore, is very important to work really hard to get what we want because that enables us to be someone and bring something positive to our country and our family.

You are so lucky to get into a well recognized university without hard working. In my country if I couldn't get higher grades it would have been a dream in my life to enter to a university. But I appreciate you about finally having the intension to work hard because it is really important, unless we get nothing from the education.
