“A lot of hard work went into that sh*t, bro,” Smith told his fans in an Instagram video shared Tuesday when talking about his perfect GPA. He also added that there were plenty of excuses and “disabilities” he was told about for why he might not be a great student, but he was “happy” with the work and the results.

You can tell that’s legit joy and happiness Smith is experiencing. There’s no way you can fake that kind of joy.
He put in the hard work, grinded it out and earned a perfect GPA. All you can do is clap your hands and congratulate him.
Man I’ve been eating junk food my whole life and no I got to quit cause I’m learning about nutrition in my #FCS class. African Americans especially have to cut out so much fast food and sugar in our diets. Diabetes rate is way to high an going higher. #nutritionclass

As someone who never came close to having a 4.0 in a semester during my time in college as far as I can remember, I respect the hell out of anyone who can get solid grades.
From the looks of things, Smith was a hell of a lot more dedicated to the process than I ever was.
