DO MARKS MATTER?

 


This is no new information that marks are one of the most influencing factors of a student’s life and as every single person in this world was a student at some the point in their life so it can be said that marks have had a very strong influence over almost every person in this world.

This is a very commonly used notion that “marks do not define who you are”. I think this is 100% true; marks are just a representation of how you performed in some series of tests, that does not define who you are. If someone who has the potential to score more and perform well got fewer marks then it does not mean that he is someone who can’t score, there are a lot of factors which affect a person’s performance. Let say there is a student who isn’t very studious, there are still a lot of qualities which combined defines a person. Every single person is unique; every single person has something they’re good at.

So I consider it a waste of time worrying and grieving about low or unsatisfying marks. It is always better to take that time to figure out your next step, to give time to yourself think about things that you like doing and what will it take for you to go down that road. 

I’ve seen kiddos who missed out on all the fun that school or college comes with just to prepare themselves for exams and stuff. It’s never about the marks, it’s never about the results, it’s about your journey, it’s all about the good times that you had all the fun things that you did every prank that you played on your teachers or other students every trip that you took with your friends every harsh thing that you been through in all these years and not breaking and staying strong and enjoying yourself at every moment. We value learning and studying and we are always presented with the obvious and conventional ways of learning but it’s a loss to ignore the deeper and more mindful learning that you did in all these years through your experiences with your friends and other people around you.

 

“It's not the destination, it's the journey. And if you guys can understand that, then what you'll see happen is you won't accomplish your dreams, your dreams won't come true; something greater will.”

-Kobe Bryant

So the next time you worry about your marks and doubt yourself on the basis of your score, ask yourself “IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?”.

CHOOSING A COLLEGE IN PANDEMIC

Choosing a college is the most crucial stage for a student as he/she advances from school.
