"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

That one kid in every class...

~We promise according to our hopes, and perform according to our fears.

Yay for feeling good about a test! Haha, I got 76% on my D&C test. Which isn't amazing but I was pretty happy with it :)

So I've been thinking this week about how there is always that kid in every class. HOW does that happen. Always one kid who thinks they're all that. Who has to answer every question... or ask every question... or both! The kids who, when you see their hand go up or hear their voice your roll your eyes and think "what now?"

It sounds pretty mean. But I seriously have one of those kids in every one of my classes. Is there just always someone in line who would have stepped up-the next most curious and annoying student in every class. Cuz otherwise they are all perfectly stationed one per class!

And then there are the kids who always have to question things unnecessarily. Like after my D&C teacher explained how the test would be set up. And the kid who is over critical about everything had to ask why dates were really necessary. Oh, and we only had to know when the priesthood was restored and when the church was restored. Two dates. So we had to have a discussion about how knowing the dates of things was not pertinent to our eternal salvation.

*eye roll* It's a class!

Anyway, there's my little rant about that! Haha, guess there's nothing anyone can ever do about it. It's part of the schooling experience.
