I never struggle with college and I’m that rare breed of student that highly enjoys giving out a presentation in front of the class: I practice beforehand, I get giddy and full of adrenaline because I enjoy it so much. And shouldn’t everybody?
So, when I got a “B” this semester I totally flipped. I looked for my professor immediately because I desperately needed to know why after being an enthusiastic presenter, turning in all my assignments and excelling in my last portfolio I got such undeserving grade (I am getting a degree in a Digital Photography Specialization).
When the professor gives me an answer I am in utter shock and awe, ” “You got a “B” because you’re always putting make-up on in my class and that is so rude.” I think to myself: that is so unfair, considering I don’t apply my make-up chanting or giving my less beauty savvy classmates tips.
Worst words after that: “You are an “A” student, you do “A” work but even if you have the best photos and work in the class, you get a “B”.
I’ll be honest: I have no clue how one thing affects another because they don’t. I never compromised the quality of my work with a little bit of corrective make-up application at 9:00am.
As of right now, I’m writing a letter to my teacher apologizing for being a beauty junkie.
