Better to be the masters #1 in charge than to start your own and fail. There is no glory in failing at business. You've been successful.. and that's great. But that doesn't mean this gal will be.
Most successful business people I know failed more than once before suceeding.
in any event, I commend this student for doing what she needed to do, to advance her life, over the inane requirements of this HS.
I believe the job description is "Designated Scapegoat"
Nope, I don't think so. Sometimes the journey is worth far more than the destination and definitely better than butt kissing.
What a pathetic sentiment to hold. Teddy Rosevelt Said "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." I thnk I'll take his advice over yours. The title of #1 suck up is not appealing.
