I am Vaughn

After the initial conversation about Brit’s intelligence had passed I began to breath easier.I had been so close to hyperventilating before that.I hoped she hadn’t noticed how my voice cracked nervously when I complimented her English skills.
Once we had moved onto the Pythagorean Theorem I was way more comfortable.Nice solid facts to hold onto- there’s nothing better.
I wasn’t lying when I said what I thought of grades. I hate grades.I have had so many students in my tutoring classes who were messed up because of grades.The stress levels were ridiculous: you either cared until you lost it like Perdita did and end up in hospital with severe school-related OCD , or you didn’t care at all. It’s ridiculous what people do to themselves over grades.How people treat each other because of grades.How hugely grades can affect your life (ex:college).And how little they really represent of a person’s intelligence.
Because I learned to care about grades as a #1 priority I lost other things: free time and girls, mostly.

    exactly they force people worry too much over grades. that’s why when finals come up every one flips out and im just fine. if you get nervous you over think and second guess and we all know whats happens when you do that.
