Yes, 3.9 GPA is VERY good, but a person can always try to strive for their best. Yes, there IS MORE that a person can want--to improve and be better. She wants to reach her full potential. She is over-reacting a little bit by getting upset, but this is what pushes her on to do better. Just because she is 2nd in her class, doesn't mean she shouldn't strive for #1!

Someone like that has a problem. Being perfect is not cool at all, you become miserable since anything less is considered a failure. Anything from 3.75 and above is considers VERY good, even a 3.5 GPA is great since it shows perseverance even if you aren't great at every academic subject (and in life a lot of times being well-rounded gets you further). Oh and one last thought, isn't the richest man in the world a college drop out? Don't get me wrong, I have several degrees and am still working on more, but I am no 4.0 student (more like 3.6-3.75 if that) and I figure I can get into any grad program in the country because I am well-rounded.

having a 3.9 gpa is like having an A but if you want an A+ in your progress reports/ report card you want to get a 4.0 or if you want to increase your grade you can help out the school or just do extra credit

there's more important things in life that a perfect GPA. Get over it!!! a 3.9 is just as good as a 4.0. colleges don't care about GPA's... they care about the strength of your courses and how much volunteer work u do and the activities ur involved in...and lets see... ur SAT scores, AP classes, recommendations. u get the point.... tell her to get over it and stop being a cry baby.

Tell her not to worry about her GPA until her High School years because, that's when it really counts and also tell her to take the highest classes she can take in high school and maintain good grades to get into a good college

lol... whatever the person above me meant by that story...jejeje... anyways, it's a big deal for her because she is the kind of person that expects a lot of herself (like me). All you can do is try to understand her and agree with her, that will make her feel better. And who knows, maybe she can try to change that grade by talking to teachers...believe me, she won't be happy for a while, that 3.9 will chase her for the rest of the school year...

YKK is a huge company that makes zippers!
Here is a bit of zipper history. The "clasp locker" as it was called, was invented in 1891 by Whitcomb L. Judson. The clasp locker was an assemblage of hooks and eyes that Judson thought would save people time and sore backs fastening their shoes with one hand. Later, in 1913, Gideon Sundback of Sweden developed the predecessor of today's zipper that used metal teeth, and patented it in 1917. Sundback's design was the first design that saw practical use. Sundback's "separable fastener" had more fasteners per inch than the earlier clasp locker. Later, the B.F. Goodrich Co. used the separable fastener in some rubber boots and came up with the name "zipper" because the boots could be fastened with one hand. Today, zippers are also made of plastic as well.

Founded in Japan in 1934, YKK was called Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha, but 60 years later the company changed its company name to match its brand name. The privately held YKK Co. is headquartered in Japan and is made up of 80 companies at 206 facilities in 52 countries. YKK makes the entire zipper including the dyed cloth and the brass used to make the zipper.

YKK zippers are found in:

Clothing
Furniture
Automobiles
Luggage
Sports equipment

A YKK factory site in Macon, Ga., produces 7 million zippers a day, in a total of 1,500 styles in more than 427 standard colors. It's the largest zipper factory in the world. The Macon site produces its own brass to make the teeth and slider parts of a zipper. The same factory also produces and dyes the yarn that is woven into the fabric portion of a zipper. And YKK also produces the machines that make the zippers! YKK has leveraged its knowledge of working with metals to form an aluminum building products division that now accounts for two-thirds of YKK's worldwide sales.
