And an "A" is the highest grade you can receive on schoolwork in most schools here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites AggieDave 6 #12 December 6, 2005 As a TI I really don't think that *everyone* should try skydiving. Although I wish whuffos understood the sport more. That might change as skydiving becomes more "mainstream" but that brings with it a LOT of problems that have been discussed before.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I would really agree with that. However! That is a little too difficult to articulate in 5 pages. Unfortunately, this will just have to be more of a "feel good" essay. If it makes you feel any better! I'm only trying to convince my prof. to give me an A I am not afraid . . .

And then wrap it together with how those lessons would benefit people in a general sense. One of my "10 page" papers for a class I took ended up with a 75 page "disseration." He gave me the only "A" in the class, but complained about the reading. Then he told me I needed to write a book. LOL!
