As a student, what do you care more about, grades or learnings?
Hi
Learning should be most important, but, whatever you do or don't know, if you cannot show future employers some qualifications, your knowledge is unlikely to be very helpful.
There are exceptions. There are employers, who will look past the pieces of paper to the individuals beyond, but most do not have the time.
The truth is that grades and qualifications should reflect learning. That's not always the case, I know, but it should be the aimMaking it to the top is not worth anything if I have not learnt to be a person of learning, character, discipline and values. I believe if I have the rest I will make the grades if not today , then someday! Learning from every situation, circumstance and person helps me change, adapt and grow.... I learn every moment of my day!
