I just recently found out that the most important thing that I can do as a high school student is to keep my GPA high. Let me tell you a small story to explain.
In middle school, I had joined in a program known as AVID. This program was to get you ready for college and it even gives tours of a college once a year. When I had joined the first year, the trip was to UNT.
After we moved to a different area, I was no longer within the AVID program due to the fact that the school that I go to now doesn't have it; it doesn't even have ROTC. Moving on from that, early in the school year, UNT had sent me an email(since I had placed it onto a survey they had given me) telling me to verify my email.
To tell you the truth, I didn't do that and I didn't get any more emails from them. Sophomore year comes along and suddenly UNT had sent me another email. The contents spoke about how great their college was, how unique it was compared to all of the other colleges in the world.
Here I am, wondering why they had emailed me even though I didn't "verify" my email address. That was at first. After I thought about it, I then came to a conclusion that they must have saw my GPA and that they had wanted to rope me in if possible.
Just in case you guys were wondering, my GPA was enough to get me into the first quarter of my class since I last checked. Anyways, as I said before, GPA is important!
Enough about me. I hope you guys are enjoying your own lives. Stay happy and continue reading, thus Happy Readings!
