Wish I had such “problems”! My friend, who is incredibly smart, was venting about her math grade slipping. She was so animated in her frustration that we assumed it had plummeted by at least 20 points. So we asked her, “What’s your grade now, girl?” She replied, “97☹️,” and we all just walked away.

It’s all about perspective! 97 is still an incredible grade, but I respect the drive to want even more. Keep pushing each other to be the best! 😊
