Pierce put a good amount of effort into his years at Starfleet Academy, however he was, and never intended to be, the "A student". His first year at the Academy was tumultuous, at best. Having spent too much time socializing, he almost failed his first year, not to mention developing a rather horrible rapport with his chemistry and mathematics professors. In his second year, he really pulled up his game. Although he found the sciences very interesting, he found the actual classes overwhelming; filled with concepts wholeheartedly alien to the young man who had grown up on colonist's world on the edge of Federation Space. | Pierce put a good amount of effort into his years at Starfleet Academy, however he was, and never intended to be, the "A student".
