Get around people who level up your stats

High School.

In 10th grade, I was a B-C student. I was just floating along, enjoying playing soccer, basketball, swim team and hanging out with friends. I had no real goals or purpose. I didn't read books, never took homework seriously, and didn't care about most things.

I was, in many ways, average at most things, especially school.

Then one day a student named Nick joined our school from abroad. Nick was a dedicated student and went about life with focus and purpose. 

Nick and I soon became best friends, and because of this relationship and the amount of time we spent together, I became a student with a 4.0+ GPA by the end of the school year (I didn't even know you could get above 4.0). 

This one person made my stats go up. It's not surprising that Nick went on to be an MD/PhD from Johns Hopkins.
