Homework

Two assignments from high school.  Both A's.  Neither was good enough.  This is part of the reason I stopped trying to succeed.  I was berated if it wasn't perfect.  90 isn't good enough, 97 isn't good enough.  100 or nothing.  And heaven forbid I get a B or C.  I worked my ass off for these grades.  And for what?  A "you could do better."  I did enough to get by and did good in the classes I liked.  I never failed a class, just squeezed by with C's and D's.  Maybe I should have tried harder for myself.  But I knew what I was capable of.  I just didn't feel like applying myself.
