A Good School Record Is Invaluable
Ever since you first step into a school building, unaware, you have commenced the task of constructing a vital possession, your school record. This record is as common as your shadow. Until you have taken your last breath, it will always remain with you. Because it is vital and permanent, a student should act wise and alert in creating his record. If the accomplishment is an excellent one, it will reward you by enabling you to get the best job and a respectable place in society.
You are practically beginning your record when you've taken your first step into our complex world. Carry along a poor record, and it's an ominous world you are facing; take along a desirable record and there's an outstretched hand waiting for you.
Another thing, you cannot buy or exchange a school record; you can't expect to build an entirely different one, but you can start improving your school record. There's nothing complex about it. All it takes is common sense. Remember it's you, you alone will build; thus it's your passport. Treat it wisely and the consequences will be the best of everything; stupidly treat it unfair, and I'm positive, he'll have revenge on you.
