What Makes a
Student Strive for Good Grades?
--by Dalton Garber, Byron, CA Mar07
I think there are many things that can make a student strive for good
grades. One thing is that they would want to get into a good college.
Another thing I think could motivate a student would be that they are
playing a sport and they need the good grades. They could also want to prove
it to themselves or others that they can do it.
One thing that can make a student strive for good grades is
that they might want
to get into a good college. For example if they have good grades, then it is
easier to
get into a good college. But if they have bad grades it is hard to get
accepted into
the college. Also, if they have good grades they don’t have to get such a
high LSAT score to get into a good college. So that is one thing that could
motivate a student to get good grades.
Another thing that can motivate a student would be that they
are playing a sport.
Most sports make you keep a certain grade point average. So to keep the
grade
point average they would have to have good grades. Also if they keep really
good
grades than they won't have to worry if the grade point average is high
enough to
stay on the team. Also if they play the sport really well and have good
grades it would increase the chance that they would get a scholarship.
Another thing that could motivate a student to get good
grades would be that
they want to prove to themselves or others that they can get good grades.
For
example sometimes the student may be always getting bad grades because they
don’t really try. Then they would want to see if they tried if they could
get good
grades. Also someone could call that person stupid and say that they
couldn’t get
good grades if they tried. Then they would also want to prove to them that
they can get good grades.
Those are just some things that could motivate a student to
get good grades. One is that they want to get into a good college. Another
thing would be that they play a sport and need the good grades. A third
thing would be that they want to prove that they can get good grades to
themselves or someone else. Those are just some things that can motivate a
student to get good grades.
