The Sixth Week

            By the sixth week of school, you are so sick of school that you start to feel as if you do not care about school anymore. You may think to yourself, that you do not care what you get on an assignment. You do not care whether you get an “A” or a “C.” At least, that is what you think. However, when your professor gives you back a paper and you see you got a “C” on it, you do not have that feeling of “I do not care” anymore. You suddenly realize why you are paying over $20000.00 to go to school. This gives you a little bit of motivation, to get to the end of the semester. The sixth week is the week when you think to yourself that you can get through this because you have made it through semesters time and time again.

            By the sixth week, you know that you have to do well. If you do not do good, you wasted $20000.00, not to mention the fact that you need to graduate and have a good grade point average, in order to gain a successful job, in the field that you enjoy. You now know that you must succeed at this stupid school thing. If you do not succeed, you may not succeed at anything in life. Without a degree, you cannot find a good job, and without a good job, you cannot support your family. This spells misery for your life. You must realize, that this is not your first or second semester of college. You have made it through these countless times before, and succeeded. Now, is not the time to give up, after all of the work you have put in during previous semesters. You realize that you must push on through this rough semester.

            In conclusion, you now know that giving up is not an option, you must push through the semester at all costs. Unlike in grade school, where your grades did not really matter, in college, your grades affect the rest of your life. Your grades will follow you until the day you retire. If they have to follow you, why not make them good grades. You do not want bad grades following you around until the day you retire. By the sixth week, you have the motivation to push through the semester.
