“Hey, Molly. How did that SAT go?” Stuart asked curiously.
“Really well actually. I finished the whole thing and I think I aced it.” Molly said proudly.
“That’s great! Then you have a great chance to go into any college you want.”
“I know I’m really excited. A good SAT means everything.” Molly said enthusiastically.
“Well, not necessarily everything. Grades and out of school activities matter too.” Stuart replied.
“What are you talking about? If I’m smart enough I can get into any college I want.”
“Not necessarily. Colleges like to see a well rounded person who works hard. Not just someone who is naturally gifted.”
“Shoot. I blew off all my classes since I thought it didn't matter.”
“Well you work harder these next few years then so that you have a better chance with a good college.”
“Man I really regret not working hard now. I’m going to have to work twice as hard to get into a good college.”
“That does stink, but you gotta do what you gotta do.”
“I guess I’ll start by doing this dialogue paper for English.”
“That sounds like a good idea. It will also help to participate in extracurricular activities to boost your applications.
“Wow. I really did screw up not taking anything seriously. I just hope I can fix this mess I put myself in in the next few years.”
“I think you can just work hard and don’t give up.”
