High academic achievement has been and remains my focus for my school career. As much as it seems like a means to an end, I also realize that the work I put into academics now is infinitely important to my success as an individual. Many people go through their entire college career imagining that if they work to get the highest grade possible they will learn, but only as a side effect. My goal in college is to learn as a primary objective, rather than as an unintended consequence. I believe that it is important to get good grades, but I have realized that the classes that I struggle with are the classes which I take the most away from, ergo, hard work can be a greater determinant of knowledge than grades will ever
