Medical analysis announces ideal academic blood types

What is your academic blood type? Is it Type 0 or Type A? Type 0 represents an obsessed attitude; this student is consumed with the idea of earning top grades and honors solely for the displayed value. This student's plan is not approached with the intention of bettering his mind, but instead with the idea of getting through the big exam with a victory. Tomorrow, Obsessed will have discarded as waste material the knowledge he faithfully memorized the previous day. Type 0 is lacking some important component in his overall structure.

Also mentioned is Type A. This stands for aspiring desire. The student possessing this blood type works hard at his studies due to an inward drive toward knowledge and mental development. Aspired may not be leading the blood bank in top scholastic achievement, but he makes good
grades. Type A may award himself a pat on the corpuscle, for he has an inquisitive mind, which neatly files away each piece of information under future reference.

The main difference between A and 0, then, appears to be that A enjoys his subjects and wishes to make the most of them, while 0 is chiefly interested in obtaining an illustrious report card.

We are now prepared to make a medical analysis! The ideal academic blood type is obviously OA - obsession of the student with getting good grades, and ability to retain and utilize what he has learned. Remember, it's never too late to inquire about a transfusion!
