When I was a kid, I would choose (subconsciously, maybe) not to put too much effort into school, because I was afraid to find out that even with hard work, I'd still screw up. I mean, if you get a bad grade and didn't put work into it, that just makes you lazy. If you get a bad grade and really TRIED, what does that make you? Stupid?
I'm still afraid of trying hard, failing and feeling stupid. But I'm more afraid of failing, in general, and maybe not as afraid of feeling stupid as I used to be.
Every now and then, though, I still catch myself falling into that pattern. I'm on guard against it.
BTW Bri, how did the stats test go?
I have to take a stats class too. Haven't decided which one yet.
