A professor stood before his class of twenty senior organic biology students and was about to hand the final exam papers.
“I want to say that has been a pleasure teaching you this term. I know you've worked (extreme) hard and many of you are off to medical school after summer. I know no one wants to get their GPA(平均成绩) (mess) up because they might have been celebrating this week. Anyone who prefers not to take the final exam today (receive) a 'B' for the course.”
The students were filled with (happy) as they got up, walked to the front of the class, and accepted the professor's offer. As last taker left the room, the professor looked at the handful of (remain) students and asked, “Anyone else? This is your last chance.”
One final student rose up and chose not to take part in the final. The professor closed the door and checked who were still in the classroom.
“I'm glad to see you believe in (you),” he said. “You all get 'A's.”
How many have taken the easy way out? The short road, the easy path the light load all lead to lower grades in school of life.
