Dear parents and future parents ; Major vs Cumulative


Dear parents/ future parents,
            I beg you not hinder your child's interests.  Success comes at the price of lack of skill in something unimportant unless of course: you want your child to be a goody-goody student/future politician.  
           Case in point: I had Cs in my English class up until 6th grade when I got intensely tutored for it to get into other schools and eventually college (sat tutoring).  FUCK THAT!!! Speaking especially if you want to be a PhD (non-medical), it is more important to be good at one thing than to be a jack of all trades.  The thing that counts most for your undergraduate GPA is your major.  Your major , especially if it is math-based, depends on skill and interest developed in your past.  By the time a kid is in college, if that kid majors in math, he will barely take English classes and grad school won't care so much about his English grades.  Heck, you can go into a fancy colleges with amazing MAJOR RELATED GPA and a lowered cumulative GPA.  And a good undergrad college might accept you for your talent in one subject anyways.  
                                                     Peace,
                                                     Enraged college student.
