There are many things that have led me to pursue my advanced graduate degree. One major experience is the laid-back professionalism of professors. However, in this case I came in contact with professor that really didn’t catch my attention. Also, professors who knew I was a hard-working student and worked hard to keep my GPA at a certain level would grade me so hard, therefore it made things so hard for me.
