By reading this blog it got me to realize more about the life of Alexander and where he is coming from with his topic. Its not that studyng changes a persons’ creativity so much but that teachers subjective grading style can affect a students success. At a young age it is hard to change your ways. Kids want to be young and little but in todays society and methods of teaching there is a lot more work that is concentrated on class and studying, this leaves students with a choice; to stay young or to go out and play. Alexander mad the decision to stay in and study even though he didn’t want to. His sisters and dad have all achieved a high status and that made Alexander want to achieve a high status as well, not to not fell left out but to feel that self achievement and succeed in life.  Students fight an everyday struggle on whether or not to study or hang out with friends. This is also a harder decision if you are in a different type of major. Some majors are harder than others and all professors are different with their subjective grading so new methods always have to be learned. But from this whole experience Alexander believes that hard work and discipline are important in achieving overall success. Without studying and proper habits a persons life can change in an instance.
