For, I am in that same race too. The race that I know is very expensive to participate in. The race that I know is seemingly significant but practically are mere numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight I want to swallow this pill once again, &#8220;GPA 4.0, or straight A&#8217;s is not the dream, is not the only way, the dream m.u.s.t be something else!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose must be progress. Not a transcript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your identity must be your virtues. Not grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dream must be fulfillment and appetite for more responsibility. Not A&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your hunger must be competence. Not 4.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Namaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">&lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span> One day.
