Everyday i think about how all my assignments go into my grade. My grade goes into what college i make it into and my future. i make sure to alway make a good choice when it comes to that because i know how it can affect me. I have learned from all my older siblings that school comes first and to try hard because your grades will have a domino affect on the colleges i get accepted to. This quote is very true and there are also other times where this quote relates to it.
