I am, for the most part a B student. Knowing this, and knowing that life is all about personal connections and networking, I became friends with all my teachers and TA's thus raising my grades to A's. Last semester I got a 3.6 with simple monthly meetings with each teacher. Without meeting them I would have gotten a 3.0. Showing interest in your teachers makes them want you to succeed in their class.
