Here lies one whose name was writ in water...

Apparently one of your former GHS '05 classmates, who moved away over the summer, was back in town this weekend to look at colleges. She is a very bright, well rounded girl. She was regularly listed on the honor roll. So you might understand why I was slack-jawed when I heard her top school, the reason she traveled all the way back here to visit

Why are you surprised? Georgetown School Administrators are not committed to competitive education. Just count how many times they focus on the success of Georgetown sports over music, art and merit scholarships! Unfortunately, mediocrity breeds a big surprise when SAT scores arrive.

Why am I involved in this. I am the high school student pushing myself for something that is going to be tougher for me to grasp. And you should be informed before you speak, because she wants to go to bridgewater so she can see her boyfriend John Ayers.

And why 5 for me, Id like to go to CSU because it is such a good business school in an area that i highly enjoy.

If the boyfriend is a big factor, than I am even more disappointed. I know that there are some very independent women coming out of GHS, but I had hoped the culture of Georgetown would have made this one strong too.

Logan - sorry for taking a dig at you.

It's ok I would just like to know why.

why are you picking on her???? I was talking to her mom and where she moved to is a very hard school and her GPA was brought down a whole number grade....and she does want to be with john...what is so wrong with that...i think she should go to a school that makes her happy! And she is very very smart and prob could do great in a harder school but its up to her what she wants to do. Im also looking at bridgewater...yah my brother yelled at me telling me i could do so much better but i want to go there and i dont care what people think.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit

Becca - I seem to remember reading that you were also seriosuly considering Bridgewater State. Please, I assume your grades are good enough to get you into much better schools. Why not aim higher?

how do you know how my grades are...yah i was thinking about bridgewater its a really good school...I want to be a 2nd grade teacher and i dont need a so called "better" school to go to. Im also thinking about salem..my older brother goes there. I really cant get into "better" school. my grades arent wonderful but they are good enough. I mean im happy, so i think thats all that matters. My brother also said to try for harder schools becaues i could get into them but i dont think i could...oh well. All i need right now is so find a good paying job. :/ So wait what about you where do you go to collage??? do you know my brother rory...you know all of us do you know him im sure your older than me so you might know him....he deff screwed up..he is smart and he is at NSCC.....i know he could of done soo much better if he tryed.....oh well. well im out!! BYE!! hope you had a great thanksgiving!!!

Why??

[icanseeformiles]

Just curious.

[oaknuts]

well her boyfriend is around here. I'm sure that has something to do with it.

[chasedxdreams]

Maybe she enjoys it there?? Perhaps she has a better feel of the campus and the student body? Grades and academics aren't every ones top qualities to look for in a college. And yeah, not all of us are looking for a party scene.
