Beyond Mediocrity

Students beam over grade 75 and they appear complacent about attaining such rating. I also heard a student commenting "What's the extra point for?"

Having high in college can be an investment for a better life ahead. Prospective employers will definitely not settle for something less. Although grades are affected by several factors, we still consider these s important measurement of students' academic performence.

Having a grade of 75% of course, is better than having a failing grade, but some get this out of mercy. What if they take board and licensure examinations? They simply cannot pass out of mercy all the time.

Mediocrity in the job may mean loss of business, death of a patient, increase in crime in the society, low quality of service or loss of trust of people in us. excellence, on the other hand, is equal to success and progress.

Our society needs improvement. We are in dire need of people who can run the government efficiently and honestly. We need dedicated teachers. We need businessmen who are selfless and who think of the welfare of customers and not only of profit.

Acquiring a degree is never easy but is we think of the prize we reap and the challenge in the real and competitive world after graduation, we will not confine ourselves in the comfort of 75s and 76s.
