Read the bolded sentence in the passage Advise a Gr 12 learner on how to find
Vilka [71]

Dear Gr 12 learner, I bet you've heard the phrase "with great powers comes great responsibilities." This phrase is very true, especially at that moment in life that you are living in, where your greatest power is freedom. My advice to you is that you take advantage of this moment and use the freedom that is offered to you, but don't forget the responsibility that comes with it and that responsibility is to maintain responsible behavior.

Freedom is a privilege held with responsibility. For this, it is important that you understand that there are situations that are not appropriate, beneficial and progressive which you should not get involved in and act responsibly to avoid them, thus maintaining not only your freedom, but your moral and physical integrity , as well as your safety.

Freedom with responsibility is not difficult, it will be necessary for you to stay focused on good things, in addition to maintaining the trust of those who allow you to have access to freedom. In that case, I need to issue a second piece of advice, which is to always ask older and more experienced people about what behavior to adopt in situations that you think might lead you to irresponsibility.

I believe that with this advice you will make very good and uplifting decisions.

How to calculate GPA?
irakobra [83]
GPA can be calculated by adding up your grades as points. For example for my school, an A is 4, B is 3, and so on and so forth. Depending on how many subjects you have as grades, you add all those up, then divide it by how many subjects you have. Say I have all A’s in 7 subjects, I multiply 4 by 7 and get 28. I then divide by 7 because that is how many periods/subjects I have. I get a 4.0 GPA, which is how to calculate it. I don’t know the other question, but I hope this helps.
