Average meets Academic

Procrastination

If anyone has the gull or just lack of self preservation and attends a school similar to Suncoast they understand why I dread the mailman during those first weeks of summer. Normal high school wasn't enough torture for me so I decided to enroll in a school where little girls received replicas of the Yale's bulldog instead of baby dolls for their first birthday, and a baby boys first outfits was a Harvard onesies instead of Lakers jerseys. Where rowing is the sport that gets you into Harvard, and Key club makes you student body president. Where people who get B's in AP Physics are either slow or lazy, and the kids like me who get C's in Spanish should just drop out of IB into IDP(regular). So without a doubt I have been labeled average on the Suncoast level. Therefore I dread the day the mail man cheerfully delivers the remains of the previous nine months. Nine months of sleepless nights, nine months of tears, and nine months of binging on brownie mix and ice cream later, I am left with a 3.4375 GPA. After two years at Suncoast I have learned that average is not accepted. Unfortunately for the academic elite I have never like being normal or fitting in the mold. So now that my third at Suncoast is approaching I dare to wear my averagness with pride, and I am embarking on a journey to show that average can succeed.
