In my primary school, the only certificate I would get was a full attendance award, just for not staying absent. I left my primary school as average learner and was underperforming in my first 2 years of my high school. I gave my mom the shock of her life when I started excelling in my senior years in high school and left as one of the top 2 matriculates. I further completed my B Com in Accounting degree, record time. To be honest, it would have been possible if I did not attend sacrifice watching cartoons on Saturday mornings for extra lessons. Sometimes one needs a little helping hand. Luckily for me, I got so much support at both high school and in university.
Based on my life story, I don’t believe you have to be intelligent to achieve your desired academic results. But you do have to be consistent when working hard. Hard work beats intelligence, if intelligence don’t work hard
