Stories of Boosting Your GPA for Medical School: Share Your Experiences

A common strategy from stories is active learning. Instead of just passively reading textbooks, engage with the material. For instance, create flashcards, summarize chapters in your own words. I did this for biochemistry and it really helped me remember key concepts. This led to better performance on exams and an increase in my GPA.

In my school, there was a girl who was harassed because of her weight. Other students made mean comments about her body. She started skipping meals. It took a long time for teachers to notice and stop it. The school should have been more vigilant.

One of the worst school lunch stories I had was when they served a mystery meat. It looked like some sort of greyish - brown mush. It was supposed to be beef, but it had no taste or texture of real beef. I took one bite and couldn't swallow it. I ended up just eating the side salad that day, which was just some wilted lettuce and a few slices of cucumber.

When I was in school, I had a huge crush on a boy. One day, I wrote him a love note but accidentally put it in the wrong locker. The girl who got the note thought it was for her and came to find me all excited. When I realized my mistake, I was mortified. I had to explain the whole situation to her, and she was really disappointed. It was so awkward.

One common form of teacher harassment at school could be verbal abuse. For example, a teacher might constantly criticize a student in a very mean way, not for educational purposes but just to put the student down. This can have a huge negative impact on the student's self - esteem.

In high school, our school uniforms were these old - fashioned dresses for girls. One day, I was running to catch the bus and the hem of my dress got caught in my backpack. As I got on the bus, the whole back of my dress was hiked up. Everyone on the bus saw and I was mortified. I quickly fixed it but the damage was already done and I couldn't stop blushing for the whole ride.

On my best last day of school, we had a talent show. All the students showed off their unique skills, from singing to dancing to magic tricks. There was so much creativity in the air. After that, we had a picnic in the schoolyard. We shared food and stories, reminiscing about the good times we had during the year. It was really heartwarming.

One horror story was when I got completely lost on my first day at a new school. I was given the wrong directions to my first class and ended up in the janitor's closet. It was so embarrassing. I walked in, and there was this old man looking at me like I was crazy.

I heard about a case where a student was wrongly accused of cheating on an exam. The evidence was flimsy, just a similarity in answers between two students which could have been a coincidence. But the school didn't fully investigate and immediately suspended the student. This not only damaged the student's academic record but also their reputation among peers and teachers.

One of the worst experiences I had was with a professor who was extremely disorganized. He would often forget what he had taught in the previous class and repeat things randomly. His exams were also a mess, with questions that were unclear and not related to the materials we actually covered. It made studying for his class a nightmare.
