It seems like high school is a amalgam of grades, SAT scores and extracurricular activities. And maybe that's the way it should be. It keeps us on our toes, and makes us less vulnerable to the counterproductive activities. But what really irks me are certain individuals who would "slay" to beat above the rest. I feel as if they're observing their competition with a stealthy glance, digging into the nitty gritty just to get 1/2 a foot above the rest.
Why would someone degrade himself to that position? What is so marvelous in doing underground research? It is shocking to observe such activities going around, unbelievable to a certain extent. Is there a lack of morality? Why don't we all try our genuine best? Bring it on, give it your best shot.
