I got a 2.6 GPA. I got a 29 on my ACT.

I love questions like this because they remind people that school performance and real life success are not always the same thing. ❤️

I was not the straight A student people would have predicted big business milestones for.

I got a 2.6 GPA.
I got a 29 on my ACT.
And today I own a marketing agency and teach people how to grow through marketing.

That is not me saying grades do not matter at all.,,
It is me saying they are not the full story!

Some people do amazing in traditional school settings and go on to do amazing things.
Some people struggle in school and still build beautiful, successful, meaningful lives.
A test score can measure certain skills.
It cannot measure vision, resilience, creativity, leadership, courage, work ethic, or what someone will do when life gives them a reason to rise.

I think a lot of people quietly carry shame about what their grades said about them.
I really hope we keep normalizing the fact that there is more than one way to be smart and more than one path to building a life you are proud of.

So now I am curious.
What kind of grades did you get in school, and what do you do today? 🫶
