Yeah, for real.
I lived in the same dorm building as some football players when I first came to school. I’m sure there are student athletes that take it seriously and are incredibly smart – but unfortunately, the sterotyoes around academic standards for athletes are real.
I was riding the elevator with two athletes once and the first says, man, I don’t know what I’m going to do, I have so much homework to get done. The second one says, really, like what? The first one retorts, I got a write a paper – two pages double spaced!!!! The second one said, no way man, that’s brutal!
6th grade is the first time I remember writing something of that degree of difficulty, and 9th grade being the last. Life is not about writing papers, but I was surprised to hear the disparity between their workload and mine.
Like Hammer said, hopefully everything is ok and it’s impossible to know the circumstances of this guy. However, if and only if this boils down to a lack of effort on Tarekes part, there’s no excuse for that given the support, different standards and tutors. Hopefully he gets it figured out.
Is there any chance he can turn it around, or is it a done deal at this point?
