This is a really good quote and I've been thinking alot about it.

The quote rings entirely true for me - I have already fallen victim to it, 4 years ago actually. My ACT scores prove im very bright and that is how I got my scholarship and the way i get by in classes - excelling on tests I barely study for. But the work i do in school, and effort i put into it looks like just another average student, if not below average. Ever since I found out how easy it was to be average and slide by, I've done it. I mean I love my life and I like having fun much more than doing schoolwork. I personally dont even think grades are all that important, but I realize I have completely embraced mediocrity for years now, and I want that to change.
