I didn't do too well until my second year, when I realized that there were no right or wrong answers and that my professors were interested only in how well I could develop an argument.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And when I started college, I think I was good at two things: arguing and asking questions.
I didn't do very well academically; I was always in the bottom class.
I wasn't the best student. I wasn't stupid, but I wasn't paying a lot of attention.
I didn't do well at school, and I don't have lots of academic reference points.
I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.
I was a decent student but not a great student.
I feel I learned as much from fellow students as from the professors.
But in any case, I did poorly on the tests and so, in the first three years of school, I had teachers who thought I was stupid and when people think you're stupid, they have low expectations for you.
I wasn't very good at school and couldn't get my head round it.
I was a great student. I was good at everything.
