The best advice I had received was from my mother. She told me that school was important. Good grades do count further into their lives. I learned that kind of the hard way.  When I was younger, i thought that my parents were the smartest people I knew, but i found out that they weren't. I saw that i needed more education but, to be honest, i was a goody two shoes. I did everything i was told, and believed that my parents were smart. Yet, when i went into high school, i noticed that school was becoming a bore towards me. I couldn't concentrate because I was beginning to think that if my parents weren't as smart as i thought, that i shouldn't listen to them. So, i began to choose my own path towards my own life. My grades dropped and found out that i needed those good grades to pass, and get into a good college.  If it weren't for my mom, i would have never known that i should keep up my grades and do my best to live the good life.
