I'll be quite honest: The only thing that motivates me to do well in chem class is getting good grades. Well, that's not all, I guess, I also like to impress my peers (with whom I'm very competitive, even if we are friends) and as always, Mr. Grdinic. But it really is mostly grades. I don't really have a passion for any of the sciences that I've taken so far so I don't think I'll be majoring anywhere near that area, so the whole "learning" thing isn't what I'm focusing on.
No offence, Mr. G, but there definitely are some classes where I'm motivated by learning and...other things. Math, for example, is something I'm really interested in and a subject that I want to be part of my future. I also really enjoy history, obviously, not only because it's an interesting topic but because there are...other factors...which motivate me...to try...my best...and impress said other factors.
However, for the most part, the only factor that motivates me is grades and everything related (GPA, colleges, etc.) I wish it were different but it's really not. Too bad. It's still motivation enough to get pretty good grades so I'm happy.
