if you could choose, would you rather be an average student with a lot of time in your hands to hang-out with friends and also have an average to low grades or an achiever, who knows her/his priorities in life. although not a lot of time in her hands for movies because of homeworks to have an above average grade.. :))

Everyone should strive to be an achiever and everyone should know his priorities, because studies don't mean enjoyment in hanging out and in cinemas... Everyone should be more mature and considerate... Think of what your parents are spending for you guys... Do things the best way you can... Know the balance between what's right and what's enjoying... B-)

I wanted to be an average one. Not to boast, I had been an achiever in elementary and highschool but that was very though for you need to always satisfy and stay at the level the people look at you. All was changed. I decided to be more of a human and to relate with people.. Well, I just simply want to say that I am average now. hehehe :-D

I think it would have been nice to have some spare time in the past. However, I don't think I would be in college if it weren't for all those late nights completing assignments in middle school and high school. Sometimes you have to sacrifice to get where you want later in life.

Ireally want to be an achiever before in my studies but it suddenly change when I already reached my college years. I have so many things to think about that sometimes I forgot to study my lessons. Anyway, I always make sure that I am still retaining my current grades for the sake of finishing my studies. Things really change everytime new things and events will come to your life. This may also affect your goals and plans and may slightly or greatly affect you rperformance.

I chose to be an above-average student and I don't regret it at all. Sure I had to give up a social life and love life, but now I have plenty of time for those things. I didn't sacrifice friendships though. I made very good friends in high school and college, and we're still buddies until today.

In my opinion a person can do bth i.e.he can be an acheiver at the same time can spend good time for sports and extra cerricular activity.But spending too much time with friends is not possible for him.In my case I would love to be an acheiver since then you are perfect in a field and you can get fame also.In that case you can have time to spend with friend but very less.Being at the top of something that you can be proud of.So better to be an acheiver!

I do not really aim to be a high-average student. I want things to be balanced. Being an average student doesn't mean you can never be an achiever anymore. Remember, there are a lot of average students who are already successful in their career, work, life, business because intelligence doesn't really have to do with EVERYTHING. Being SMART is the key to everything. If you are an average student yet you are smart in handling life's situations, then, you can be an achiever. And that's what I am always aiming. As you can also see, there are a lot of high-average students who are nerd and don't even know how to mingle with everyone because they are always studying and don't even have time for recreations. So do you think you have balanced your life? I'd rather be me, who's only an average student but can be Smart and witty in so many ways. :)

For me to answer this, I would need to know what grade you are in. If you are in the 11th and you have been average then you don't have much time to turn those grades around. Are you trying to go to college? If so, which one? See what their requirements are to get in. There are a lot of factors in making this decision.

Well I think not everyone has the ablility to manage those two. However I enjoy the company with my friends while I strive for the first place in school. I mean you should only beleive in youreself. But if you can't really manage then choose what side will you be happy...afterall it's the most important thing to do to be happy 'coz everyone desves to be happy right!

I go on as an average student that turns into an achiever.. know's how? I'm a simple student doing all the things need in classroom, and one day in every finals it's really suprising that I am always included in Honor Society List.. I don't want too take my study seriously because I'm afraid of disappointments and to the lots of expected things from you of all people. I just wanna live my life to the fullest and really enjoy it.

I would be both. An achiever and someone who hang-out with friends. Reaching your dreams doesnt have to be boring. Its setting priorities and having breathing spaces in between each stroke to what you are trying to achieve. In life we need friends, family, and sometimes partners to give us strength in the processing of achieve something.Its what you call living life to the fullest.

i'd be the average student.. at least my grades are not that bad..ΓΌ but still, its up to the person to manage her time between work/studies and extra curricular activities.. NOTE: ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES YOU DULL..

Of course, an achiever....well, it would look like that to be an avg. student would be better, but, as my teacher says, 3 years of hard-work (class 10,11,12) and then 30 years of peace of mind and everything.

i like to be an average student because an average student might has a lot of friends than an achiever.. but in some part an achiever is the best..
