A Feeling of Satisfaction
When I take tests, I go into sensory overload and I start hyperventilating, and I usually don't do as well as I want to -- but not today! Following Rilla's test taking tips, I came out with a B- on my science test. Comparing my grade with the ones of some of my peers, I feel pretty good about it. You should have heard my scream when I saw my grade, it was Mariah Carey multiplied by at least 100. After I saw my grade, someone asked me, "How did _you_ get a higher grade than me?" Well, I saw that as I kind of bittersweet moment. The sweetness was that I had a higher grade than someone, and them asking me meant that they were jealous of my grade. The bitterness was that I've gained a reputation for failing science tests. You fail three science tests in a row, and all of a sudden, you're the 'stupid' kid in the school; the people at school are so fast to create assumptions. I think a reason that I did better on this test then my other tests, was that I had a good attitude. I thought, 'Well, I studied my hardest, so I should be able to get at least a C on this test.' It's strange how when you underestimate yourself, you usually come out with a higher score; well, for me at least. Being overly confident can sometimes be your downfall. So, in the end, I'm satisfied with my grade. Have you ever had a time, where you peformed better than you expected?This entry was posted on November 27, 2007 at 08:16 PM and is filed under Personal,.
