I did not write the book of love, and I do not claim to be full of wisdom. I sure do make mistakes, but I live and learn! I try to let no one come to me, without leaving happier.

Awesome grades from a so-so school, would look better. Good grades speak for themselves. Where as, so-so grades from an awesome school makes them question your level of dedication and responsibility. Getting good grades, regardless of which school you are coming from, will always appeal highly to colleges. It shows that you do what is required of you, and you do it with a mature mind set. College is a privilege. It is not a right. College is undeniably tough work, for students, professors, and staff alike. No one wants to invest their time, money and energy in a seemingly irresponsible and lazy student that fails to take advantage of their opportunities, when there are thousands of more accomplished students dying for a shot at the education they have to offer.
