You are not your grades.
You are not your SAT score.
You are not the sports trophies on your shelf (or the lack thereof).
You are not the college you got into.
You are not your future career.
You are more than all that.
You are a complex, dynamic human being, and your life cannot be boiled down to a collection of letters and numbers.
You are not your grades.
