Well those days are no longer. An apt student must ask ones self; are you sick and tired of being the A+ student. You A’s aren’t getting you anywhere? You feel you’re under appreciated? The kids at school feel your superior knowledge of the dictionary is not as cool as ditching class for a cold forty? Well let me tell you something Pierce College students It’s a new DAY! And by golly I’m here to help open your eyes to a new world. A world where being a poor student gets you that diploma. A world where coming to class a few hours late is no biggie. Why that’s right you’ve read it correctly. A world where school is no longer the dull drab institution that it has been made out to be. Just think of all the endless possibilities, Mommy isn’t hassling you for those A’s, Daddy is giving you the keys to the car on date night, and grandma brags to her bridge club members on how smart of a young lad you really are. Why yes students its the new rage. “How to enjoy all the amenities of a poor student while coming out smelling like a hundred bucks”.
Its been said that speaking out of turn in class exemplifies a poor student, while others feel it exudes a whole-hearty attempt of expressing their desire to become the first person with the right answer. Pierce college students I say to you; stand up and be heard! Some say being a poor student leads to violence in society, I can draw no correlation to this theory, in fact some say Bill Gates was a poor student despite his innocuous looks and nerd like element. But too Bill’s Harvard professors chagrin, this one time Harvard flunky seems to be doing just fine. As a matter of fact, he’s the Chairman and CEO of a top Fortune 500 company, owner of a 90 million dollar estate, and perhaps the richest man on the planet, Bill gates is a model citizen for all poor students.
Being a poor student for some is like waking up and brushing your teeth it just comes naturally. Poor students find themselves failing to complete schoolwork, realizing that hanging out with friends or going to the local bar wasn’t such a great idea. These feelings no longer have to be suppressed. Come to class inebriated! Mix water with wine! Here at Pierce College we consider it your duty to do so. Some poor students exhibit hostile behavior towards not only their peers but also their teaching professors as well. We say if your teacher gets in your way, punch him or her into the next day! And if your not feeling up to it, a well-noted antidote for this problem is rest and relaxation. But too much rest and relaxation can cause a student to daydream. Most students if not all have been caught in a situation where a Ben Steinest like teacher is giving a lecture in his monotonous voice, which causes for a daydream unlike any other.
Poor students tend to have an uncanny flair for pulling excuses from the never-ending “pool of excuses”. Excuses find there way into every aspect of human life, although not quite as often as in a poor students daily life. One way to easily spot an excuse maker is to watch the eyes. Do they reveal little or no eye contact? Does the student resort to stuttering, or perhaps the age old “my dog ate my homework” additive? These little annoyances entail results of poor organizational skills, which can lead to a feeble representation of a truly excellent excuse maker.
In conclusion, we all have the qualities and characteristics of Poor students. Its how we use these God given abilities to our advantage that makes us truly a superb “Poor student”. With determination, hard work, perseverance, and a few lazy minutes each day you’ll find yourself failing to complete assignments, exhibiting the use of hostile behavior, using defiant speech, daydreaming, showing little or no eye contact, skipping school, giving up to easily, and failing to volunteer or participate in class discussions. These are the few easy ways to spot the characteristics of a poor student. If you find yourself lacking what it takes to be an excellent Poor student than I say, “when in doubt let not thy mind drift about, think of BILL GATES!”
