Freshmen classes are usually the easiest. At least for me they were.

I don't care what class you're in, 3.934 is a very good GPA. As for freshmen classes being the easiest, that may or may not be true but the transition from high school to college, particularly the amount of reading that is required isn't easy at all for many folks and a real shock too.

GoCats might be right.

Quentin was honored for academics last year too. He was part of the large group at a basketball game that got paraded out on the court. He then joined a more exclusive group at center court. For the life of me I can't remember what the cutoff was for that group, but perhaps it was for a 4.0.

The 3.934 is just another signal the commitment isn't there.




(Maybe let's not rack up assault charges though).
