Something I value

 One thing I value is grades. Grades are important to me because they help me determine important factors that will influence my future. An example of this would be determining what college I would want to go to. If I were to receive low grades, such as D's or F's, throughout high school and go to apply for a university such as Ohio State, my chances would not be very good. If I were to get A's, my chances of being enrolled would be very good.

 Grades can also influence your GPA.The GPA is the average grade I would receive after determining the average of all my grades I had for each individual class. What is important about the GPA is that it is one of the major factors that colleges take into consideration to determine if someone was going to be enrolled into a college. It is important for me to continue to get good grades because the higher GPA I have, the better the college I can get into.

 A third thing I believe grades can influence is your viewpoint on school. For example, If I were to receive grades such as C's or D's on many of my assignments, I would probably think that I should not even try because I know the outcome will not be great. In another perspective, if I were to get A's or B's on many of my assignments, I would think that I can really accomplish something if I keep working hard to improve upon what I already have.
