UNTITLED

UNEDITED SAMPLE LITERARY ARTICLE
By Jon Bon Jovi Endaya Timones
IV-Albert Einstein


All the students are cramming every now and then. Some are due to quizzes; others are due to projects or outputs, and most of the time, busy copying their assignments. They say, education is the key to success, so let’s not waste it. Yes, that’s true; so many people now are striving hard to get their diploma even if doing it the dirtiest way.

I commonly hear my co-students saying the word “G.C.”, which simply means grade conscious, every time a classmate of mine gets high scores in his tests. But what does grade conscious really mean? Is it just having high scores or high grades? Or you’re the only one in class who has done the assignment?

Grade consciousness, for me, is not a big deal; actually, I’m just surprised that it now became a lingo or expression that my batch mates say every now and then. For me, it’s just facing your responsibilities. Today, people are getting lazier and lazier, maybe because of the massive technological advancement that we are experiencing. But do we need to rely our education to these technological advancements? Yes it can help us gain a higher degree of education, but it doesn’t mean that it is the one that will do it for us. Grade consciousness is just a plain product of our imagination, no need for us to debate about it.
