[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand many countries have a "this test determines your whole future" culture. That is never going to take root in America. Our culture is not about perfect execution. It is about never quitting. A 4.0 / 1600 filter is a non-starter. Might work in Germany or China and that is fine for them. Not going to work here.[/quote] Yes! That's why colleges love to read about kids in difficult situations. It speaks to the American character. Just look at all of our superhero stories. Captain America wasn't born strong. He was born weak and built himself to be better. That kind of thinking is baked into the American ideal [/quote] [img]https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/hammer-captain-america.jpg[/img][/quote]
