Why so many A's ?

Sigh...You know what ? I think scoring 11, 10, 9, or 8A's in SPM ain't gonna make much difference at all. Unless I qualify for a scholarship, of course. But that too looks unlikely, since I wasn't really active in co-curricular activities. Looking at the options other than scholarships ---> A-Levels, STPM, Degree, Local and Foreign Matriculation, the minimum requirements are only 4 or 5 credits. So I can still choose any of the above without actually having to score straight A's in SPM, and I think, many people are beginning to realise that 3A's and 7B's aint actually so bad. Maybe thats why this year, we saw less suicides committed by students. Haha.

By looking into that perspective, I guess I'm a bit selfish. If I go to, lets say, INTI College to do my A-Levels, I'll meet a new friend who'll probably ask me :
"How many A's did u score ?"
I'd said "10, you ?"
And he'll laugh and say "Haha. I only scored 6! And look, we're here in the same class !"
So whats the point of scoring so many A's anyway ?

By now, I'm really hoping I'd get at least 1 of the many scholarships that I've applied.
