Guy twins continue to stand at the top of their class
She keeps her head up high and her rank up higher. Junior Jasmine Guy always expected to be so close to her college dream since she walked into the high school doors freshman year. Ranked number 31 in her class with a GPA of 4.15, Guy remains at the top of her peers when it comes to grades. Twin, Jack Guy climbs the ladder to claim spot number 6 in the class of 2015. Jack and Jasmine Guy are two talented twins who both compete for top positions in the class ranking system.
Although Jack has a hard time and huge struggle with procrastination, he knows just when he needs to kick into gear and get it done. He manages to have lots of self-discipline with his schoolwork.
The huge accomplishment for the Guy’s is an outstanding achievement. Due to self-motivation and devotion, the twins realized that anything is possible.
“It’s a cool accomplishment, especially since my class of 2015 is very competitive academically. The biggest think I had to learn was to care-its surprising how successful you can be if you are motivated,” Jack said.
Both Jack and Jasmine attended public school all their lives. From Cowan Elementary to Baily Middle school, the two have been prepared for their successful high school careers to carry them on to bigger, better things in college. Both strive to stay at the top, although most students may not know how ill at ease it comes to them.
“Most of the time I just procrastinate. I spend a lot of my free time just watching Netflix and putting off homework. I just try to finish it at school but or save it for later,” Jasminsaid.
The expertise of studying and diligent work runs in the family according to the Guy’s. Both their parents and siblings ranked top in their class and displayed extremely excellent achievement in school. Former student, Brittney Guy, sister to Jack and Jasmine ranked in the top 10 % of her graduating class of 2012. The Guy family has many expectations and achieving a position in the top-10 percentile is one of them.
“Our parents just kind of expect for us to have good grades and to maintain above 4.0 GPA’s. They aren’t really concerned about our grades ever because it’s just a given that we are doing okay,” Jasmine said.
While Jasmine and Jack both share outstanding grades and genes, they actually are very different when it comes to personality and opinions.
“Besides the fact that we do well in school, we’re pretty different. Jack likes computers and programing while I like to read and watch Netflix,” Jasmine said.
The twins do their part in representing the class of 2015 as class officers. The spend lots of time in the same extra curriculars.
