The Grade

-------------------------------------------------
The Grade
==========
A professor stood before his class of twenty senior
organic biology students about to hand out the final
exam.

"I want to say that it's been a pleasure teaching you this
semester. I know you've all worked extremely hard and
many of you are off to medical school after summer. So
that no one gets their GPA messed up because they might have
been celebrating a bit too much this week, anyone who would
like to opt out of the final exam today will receive a 'B' for the
course."

There was much rejoicing in the class as students got up,
walked to the front of the class, and took the professor up on his
offer. As the last taker left the room, the professor looked
out over the handful of remaining students and asked,
"Anyone else? This is your last chance."

One final student rose up and opted out of the final.

The professor closed the door and took attendance of those
students remaining.

"I'm glad to see you believe in yourself," he said.
"You all get 'A's."

How many have taken the easy way out?
The short road, the easy path, the light load,
all lead to lower grades in the school of life.
