Symbolism

When I do very poorly on an assignment, I am usually very upset for the remainder of the day. When I do very well on an assignment I am also usually very happy for the remainder of the day. During the school week, my mood is heavily dependent upon my grades. My GPA affects my current state of mind and my future. My grades are very important to me because I want to have a bright future.

My GPA symbolizes my life. When something new, such as semester, begins, I have great optimism and self esteem, but as life goes on, it has its ups and down. One day might feel like the world is crashing down, in my social life or when I don't perform well on a test. Some days I feel like I'm on top of the world, as if I aced a test. Not only does my GPA affect my life, but it symbolizes it.
