Many students are now chasing for CGPA of 3.5 and above (Dean's List Award), but not me currently. Joy and sadness of many foundation May 09' students can be seen and heard when the coursework marks was released. Many are happy but many are unhappy as well with the coursework marks they have earned. I who currently earned about 35 out of 60 percent coursework mark for Calculus which is among the lowest, have to accept that maybe it was fate and my own recklessness that my marks will be that low. I used to be sad at first because I know I would not getting Calculus higher than B which makes my path to get CGPA of 3.5 and above gets near to impossible I kind of screw up my final exam a bit but now I know that life isn't just about getting Dean's List or such. It was lifetime studying of hardships and knowledge that matters.
This are the question that has always disturbed my mind these days:-
Does getting CGPA of 3.5 and below means you are stupid and you would not get a job later?
Does getting CGPA of 3.5 and above means you are clever and you will automatically get a job later?
Does getting low marks for coursework means the lecturer is not good and should be blamed?
I know what I want and what I need now. Getting CGPA of 3.5 and above is what I want but it is not necessary what I need. If I don't get it doesn't mean I have to suicide myself or cry all night long. Now what I need is to get CGPA above 3.0 as a condition for my scholarship continuation. But that doesn't mean that I will forever give up getting CGPA of 3.5 and above. It is just that I will try my very best for it during my Bachelor Studies in Chemical Engineering later, but if it doesn't work that way, I will just try my best to be thankful with what I get and not be unhappy with it.
