Girl gets high marks in school. May have spent hours a day studying. *Unconfirmed*
Seriously she studied 6 to 8 hours a day in highschool? I don't think i did more than 8 hours studying total in Grade 12. haha.
**EDIT! May not be 6-8 hours a day too**
Blah what a horrible article. Can't believe i started a thread on this. It's prob a fake person. There is only 1 vowel in her last name.

Brianna Smrke, 18, from the Toronto District Catholic School Board’s Michael Power-St. Joseph High School, achieved a perfect 100% grade average in the eight courses she took during her graduating high school year. She took courses in chemistry, English, biology, history and calculus.
“It was a lot of hardwork, great teachers, and a great support system. It seemed liked everything played into place. I still can’t believe it, but it’s a wonderful way to end high school,” Smrke said, adding she’ll be attending McMaster University this fall.

Good for her.
Takes some kind of dedication to study that much.

I hope for her sake this isn't the highlight of her life. 6 to 8 hours of studying a day for high school? Yikes. How much is she going to study for university?

On a hefty scholarship, I presume? Oh, wait...she was probably not a big athlete in HS as a result of this.

I had a friend in University like that. She had high 90s in high school and 4.0 GPA in civil.
Then one day she took her driving test and failed. hahahaha. She totally freaked. We all thought she was going to kill herself. It was the first time in her life she ever failed something. hehe

In a few years she'll be somewhat sad she wasted her best years attaining meaningless numbers on highschool courses.

No kidding. The curriculum here in Canada is pretty easy. What a waste of her high school years. You can study all you want in University.

Please tell me you didn't just equate highschool to the best years of your, or anyone else's life.

Definitely some of my favorite times. Hardly any responsibilities and so much freedom compared to being younger. Not all of us got picked on in high school

Well judging by that photo she certainly wasn't going on dates. That gives her tons of time to study.

Yup, it's all about the marks to work ratio.
Hopefully the time she starts universtiy she'll have figured out that 90% and 100% are both As.

Wow, academia is all well and good, but I guess its safe to assume that her social life and working life are non existant.

With that kind of work ethic, no matter what she wants to do moving forward she'll be a big success.

Not all of us were too busy compensating for our small wieners.

Except for having friends, street sense, social skills and a significant other.

Or she'll become a crazy cat lady. She stands on a razor edge, success to one side and insanity on the other.
