So I can relate to her. I hope it serves her well, though, and that she learns at some point not to be too tough on herself.Meghan Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773598501857799104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32292343.post-355732300589086162010-11-19T06:53:55.866-06:002010-11-19T06:53:55.866-06:00I must say the hunt for marks never grabbed me as ...I must say the hunt for marks never grabbed me as a child. I always knew I could get them if I wanted but was too bored by school to be bothered.<br />That didn't change until I went back to University a second time (in my late 20s/early 30s) then nothing but High distinctions were good enough.

I now have to remind myself not to strive for perfection, only my personal best.Lickety Splitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11529192872942588254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32292343.post-72890646845808803352010-11-18T11:27:35.374-06:002010-11-18T11:27:35.374-06:00I still remember my utter horror at the first (and...I still remember my utter horror at the first (and only) C I ever received. It was in my high school chemistry class, during a quarter when I was heavily preoccupied with a play in the drama department. Nobody put any pressure on me, either--I did that all myself.
