+ Write a program that does the following:
+
+    Read in an unknown number of records from an input file and store that data into vector variables for the below: 
+        First Name
+        Last Name
+        T-Number
+        Major
+        Advisor Name
+        GPA
+        Credit Hours
+        Year expected to graduate
+        Hardest class taken so far
+        Easiet class taken so far
+
+    Use functions for each of the below:
+        Function to check to see if input file was found
+        Function to read in data from input file
+        Function to output all data to screen and output file
+        Function to output the student's information that has the highest number of credit hours
+        Function to output the student's information that has the highest GPA
+
+General Notes:
+Be sure to use comments in your program: Name, Program Description, Date and anywhere else in the program you deem necessary. You do not need to sort the data to get the highest credit hours or GPA. There are much easier ways of doing this. 
+If you are stuck, I will help you!   
+Grading Rubric:
+
+    If you do not include comments at the top of the program (name, program description, date), you will lose 15 points
+    If you do not use functions, you will use 10 points per missing function (50 points)
+    If your program does not compile (run), then I will give a grade of 0/100. But will give you the change to repair for points back (some points are better than none)
+    If your program is late (within 48 hours of the due date), you will lose 25 points
+    If your program uses global variables, you will lose 5 points for each used
+    If your program is late beyond the 48 hour due date, I will typically still accept it, but you will lose far more points. Depends on when you turn it in
+    If you submit your program in a Word document, you will lose 20 points and will need to resubmit your program for grading. Please only submit .cpp files  
+    If your program is not formatted nicely (code all over the place, ugly), you will lose up to 25 points depending on the extent
+    If your program stops working when I run it, you will lose points. The exact amount depends on the severity of the error
+    If your program still has your friend's name on it, I will send you a message asking you to try harder while giving you a 0/100
+    If your program looks like a professional programmer wrote it, I will write to you to ask if you want a job. Well, maybe not. But, I will ask about the code
+    This is just a list of typical issues I run into when grading to give you some idea of where your points go. Points can be taken off for other reasons.
