Who cares about good grades? I never did. I had always told myself that a D was a good grade. Although I was very smart I was completely irresponsible when it came to turning in assignments for classes. I had gone through middle school with a mind set that D’s were passing and at the time that’s all that mattered. It gave me more time to be with friends and less with school.
