This is part of a continuing problem... That I see in 2 of the 3 people who are in the same program I'm in.

I've always cared about my grades, I study hard, and I make sure I do everything I can to learn the material.

Sometimes I talk about how much time I effort I put into my education. Sometimes I just buckle down and do the work, without talking about it.

I sometimes get reactions from other students, like "I got a C on the last test, but I don't care... what grade did you get?" Sometimes it's just a general attitude like, "Why do you try so hard? Why do you care? No one else cares..."

What I'd like to happen is for people to think to themselves, "S47 is studying hard and doing well. I want to do the same." What I see happening is that some people are thinking, "You think learning the material is important... I think that attitude is dumb."

I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised. This is a local community college, not a prestigious university.
