I guess I could say that I was a good student until I finished my college degree.. I wasn't that super brainy, I was just an average student who passes the exams and have a good time with classmates and friends too. I was a consistent honor student from elementary to high school and at college...well, hehehehee I wasn't that religious in studying anymore, fortunately I still passed. School life was never boring to me because I made a lot of friends which made it more exciting! :)

No I was never a good student, always mediocre. I did fail in mathematics in class V, but never after that. My mom went to meet the head-mistress and on her request, I was promoted to class VI. So I never really dropped a class but the ignominy of the incident ensured that I never failed again. Now that I am a mother myself, I never push my son very hard to excel in his studies. I believe that if genes are to go by, I was never a genius neither will my son be, too! I maybe wrong, but I dislike putting too much academic pressure on children coz when I was a child, I was put under lot of pressure and I simply hated every moment.

i'm a good student, in a sense that i do all my homeworks, i study my lessons for an exams, i even shared my knowledge to my classmates. But i do failed some of my exams and i think there's nothing wrong on that. I'm active in joining extra curricular activities. i once became an officer of the student council..but i'm not saying that i'm good academically, because i'm not. I'm not one of the honor students and i've never became part of them at all. i'm just a typical students who became good but also bad sometime. I even cut my class and have my parents reported at the guidance office..that's my worst experience during high school.

Yes, when I was a student esp when i was a elementary and high school. I graduated with flying colors... and my standings in school is consistent. I never failed my exam and I always get a perfect attendance... I am a scholar during college... but then I decided to get married...and I did not finish my studies. Now, I realize that its important to finish my study.

Hi LightinStrike! I think that I was the opposite of a good student, in my life I copied all the exams from my deskmate, and fortunately he was a good student :D. I also hate such excellent students even because they feel better then the other people, it was a success when a day of some years ago I had an higher evaluation then the one of my geek classmate :D. Have a good day!

good student anyway, excellence is only reached once in a while, but doesn't mean you're not good. thanks for replying.

When i read the title i started laughing because one of my friends always claim himself as a "good student" but the thing is, that he always skips classes which he does not like! LMAO
Anyways, I do not think of myself as a good student as i do sometimes fail tests in high school. But the mark you get does not necessarily reflect whether you are a good or bad student! as long as you tried your best, you are good!
I don't hate good students in our school, they are people too, but more responsible. They know that their parent's job is to earn money and their job is to study hard to repay their parent's hardworking!
I mean, people consider me to be smart in the school, but i never think that way, i know i am pretty dumb compared to the top students in our school and i do get depressed sometimes, when i compare myself to the "really really good students" I never come up top rank in our school, in any subject, i get above average, but never to the point of excellence !!

I am (nearly) a straight A+ student. The only course that I don't always have an A+ in is Math, though it is never lower than 90 anyways. I am in all accelerated courses (that are offered). People always say it takes hard work and determination to get good grades. It really doesnt. As long as you do your homework, I can guarantee that you will get a passing grade. Even if you do not understand the homework, it is better to mess it up than to not do it at all!!!

I stayed out of trouble in school. Does that count? LOL I did fairly well in some classes but just skimmed by in others (the extremely boring ones like social studies). It didn't help that I got sick a lot. I wasn't too into the straight A students at the time because they thought they were mightier than thou. Math was my best subject as far as crediting classes in high school.

I was an ok student. There were subjects that interested me a lot and I excelled on those ones, and some others that I really didn't like much and tend to lag behind a bit.
I failed a math exam once. Math was never my favorite subject LOL Of course I had to make up for it, and it was such a bother that I made sure I wouldn't fail one again :)
But in general I was a good student. Not that I deserve much credit in that one. I just learned easy :) It's not that I worked hard or had to study long hours. I was just able to memorize things when I heard them in class and was good at explaining things, so I should take much credit on my school achievements, because in reality if I look at it I was pretty lazy If I had to study hard I might not even have been a good student LOL

I wasn't a very smart and intelligent student during my School days before, but yeah I do admit with a humble heart that I consider myself as a good student. I may not be the perfect student and admirable one, but one thing I know for sure that I am being loved the person I am and respected from my Campus fellow students and Academy teachers :-)
