Booster Class

The thought of a booster class that requires little to no effort sounds like a dream come true, but where is the hard work behind that perfect letter grade? Where are the tears and migraines that prove your determination? These booster classes may support you now, but in the long run these may actually harm you. The professors at the university created a sort of “plan of action” solely for the advancement of the athletes which is absolutely unfair to the other students. This plan is also unfair to the athletes themselves. These athletes are missing out on opportunities to enroll in classes that can possibly alter their future for the better. The use of these booster classes is helping these athletes to the point where it is almost completely noticeable. “To drive this point home, they showed another slide comparing eight players’ grade-point averages in AFAM classes with their GPAs in other classes. The numbers put the story in sharp relief: The average GPA in the paper classes was 3.61, compared with 1.92 in other classes” (Stripling).
Taking a booster class, to me, is similar to cheating because of the little work required to obtain an A in said class. If I was to find myself enrolled in a booster class, I would almost immediately drop it for another class that would benefit me by providing my mind with knowledge. I would most likely report the booster class because that class may be the very class needed for another student to one-up you. Although I would be missing out on a free grade, I would not be able to live with myself for “taking the easy way out.” In order to be great at anything, hard work is required there is absolutely no way
