The title is not some motion that I found in
debate competition whether for prepared nor impromptu motion. Remind you again
that I just an ex debater which still love to discuss about controversial
issue.
GPA is abbreviation from Grade Point Average,
it’s like a final score that will be gotten by student. In Indonesia, only
student in university who uses this score method with range ≤
4. GPA is a reflection about the result of studying process in one
semester. GPA is accumulative score which are given by lecturer. If someone
able to achieve GPA > 3.5 so it means they got Cum Laude.
For your information countless I discuss
with people who insist to argue that GPA is not important at all. Instead it is
common for student to say GPA is not important in this life, what we need is
soft skill so develop your soft skill during your time in university. For this
time, I take in the opposition side.
Actually I know why there are some paradigm
to say GPA is not important. It is caused by judgment that someone who got high
GPA is not reflection of success people and hard worker. There is judgment that
someone who got high GPA will not positively have real skill in his/her field
that able to function when he/she go to work. They also say that GPA is not a
determination to have a good life. Maybe it’s some ideal reason why they said
so.
Ladies and Gentleman…
I really have ever experienced that score
in studying process that’s given by lecturer beyond expectation. You feel
easily to learn the subject but finally you got bad score and vice versa. It’s
also resentment that your friend whom you think not good on that subject will
get perfect score. Hell! I knew it. He got fake score and so do I.
However you need to clarify it’s only in
one subject, Does the boy will got some lucky score until the end of his
college? Do clever people will got bad luckiness in their all subject?
No. Your hard work will answer the problem.
God will return everything that you need to get.
