post 2 grades school and service

I have been realizing lately that it is easy to get caught up in the mundane things in collage life, such as grades, prestige, and GPAs. These things are not meant to be ends in themselves, but measure devices of greater things. Ideally GPAs, grades and awards would simply measure your commitment, dedication, and capacity to serve your fellows. While these things can have important impacts on your future success, they ought to be seen as a doorway to service, or a doorway to a continuation of service that one is already doing. I have begun to learn that service, or uplifting others and bringing joy into their live, ought to be the goal of all that is done. For the Lord said, "when ye are in the service of your fellow being ye are only in the service of your God." (Mosiah 2:17). So I'm trying to incorporate more service into my daily life and stress out a little bit less about grade, awards, etc.
