[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SAT and GPAs are just small pieces of info.

I have been to quite a few graduations comping from a large family and have a few kids. I say only 2-3 kids every impressed me. And GPA and SATs scores are meaningless. They are just numbers on a piece of paper.

My favorite kids my oldest daughters high school valedictorian who did not dress up, wrote a speech not did his parents attend who said graduating HS not a big deal does not even know why we do these graduation things. Then added a GPA is just a number. We all have numbers my number is not more important than the lowest GPA or any of your GPAs we are all graduating today so who cares. He then said well that’s it.

I asked daughter what up? That white dude in jeans and shaggy hair is really that smart?

She said he never once brought a book home or studied once and skips class or goofs off. He was in get robotics class. First day professor gave semester long robotic assigned to build a robot. He built one out of stuff he found in class room while he was talking. He got A.

[b]He also was an advisor to a Nobel prize winner. Literally Nobel prize winners came to his house for help on projects. Kids parents were blue collar. He got a full ride to Harvard. [/b]

My second favorite was Valedictorian on my oldest sisters college. He has a 4.0 volunteered 40 hours a week plus worked full time 40 hours a week. Do the math that is crazy.

My older sister well she got a masters degree at 21, perfect 4.0 GPA and published a scientific text book still in use. All be 21.

The kid does not realize people out there are just more impressive  [/quote]

More details on the Nobel prize winner(s) who showed up at a high school student's house asking for help. Thanks![/quote]
