Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Walk down any middle class, suburban senior high school hallway these days and you can feel it. The tension fills the air. Top achieving, straight-A students are worn out trying to maintain their grades and achievements to their highest potential for the competitive rewards of a super, ”academic” scholarship. Filling out endless forms, writing essays, getting letters of recommendation, transcripts, etc. take up endless hours of grueling work. As a parent, I hate to see this going on.
It`s ironic that these super kids have to work so hard for an academic scholarship when they`ve already proven themselves in school. Does one still wonder why only the strongest aren`t driven to alcohol and drugs?
