what can I replace "how tough it was getting a 4.0 GPA" with to make it shorter?

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

I don't understand what you're asking, what do you mean hun?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to find a way to make that sentence shorter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its part of an essay but if I copy and paste it comes out looking funny

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

you can say something like "Achieving a 4.0 GPA was hard" or "It's hard to get a 4.0 GPA"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks:)

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

if it's an essay, I'd say "it was hard achieving a 4.0 GPA" or something along the lines of that. I know it needs to be shorter but I wouldn't recommend just saying "it was hard to get a 4.0 GPA" for an essay

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's for my college essay and Im having a hard time with some editing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im 92 words over my limit and Im trying to shorten some sentences

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

if you need more help, I'm here

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

I hate when that happens, it's so annoying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like I want to show them my personality because they cant see who I am just based on my gpa and test scores

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but Im afraid to ask for help online because I dont want someone to steal or copy my essay..

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

omg yes because you think your essay is perfect the way it is and then you have to shorten it and it's just annoying because it's not the way you wanted it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly!

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

if you don't want someone to steal it, then I'd recommend deleting your messages when you're done and I'd ask the person helping you to do the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea you're right. I'll just go back to editing it and maybe have my english teacher take a final look before sending it in :)

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

or you can message someone privately :)

OpenStudy (jgirl128):

good luck hun! hope you get a fab grade!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
