You really should be willing to spend even just a little more effort studying. Yes, you make good grades--in fact, you make great ones. But if you want to feel more assured about your chance of becoming valedictorian after losing the spot in high school, you should study a little more and a little harder, to make yourself tougher competition for others and to improve your overall academic standing for future educational pursuits. I know it's hard sometimes, and like I say you don't have to do too much more work; but the little extra effort would give you that much more self-assurance knowing you are on the right track to succeed. Be mindful of your dreams and don't let others squash them. You can rise above criticism and those who fling it at you. Keep your chin up and keep walking forward with a confident smile on your face. :)
It has been said that "if you give a man a fish, he'll have food for a few minutes, but if you teach a man to fish, he'll have food for the rest of his life." Analogously, my college experience has both taught me the information necessary for my degree, but has also given me the skills necessary for life. Going into college, I knew vaguely the processes of research and critical thinking, but my college professors taught me how to really dig into available resources to glean information The skills of research and critical thinking have already benefited me in the workplace. As a teacher, it is frequently necessary to glean information from various resources in order to fully convey information to my students. Without the critical thinking papers and research projects in college, I would never have developed the skills I now use on a daily basis. Additionally, the time I have spent with my professors, both in and out of the lecture halls, has given me an example to display in front of my own students in my own classroom.
