I am a straightA student and have been my whole life. When you come from a family of educators, it just seems __1__.
With high academic standards and a __2__ spirit, I don't just dislike losing. I can't __3__ it. I need to beat the top students, preferably in everything. I've even got so far as to define myself by my __4__, saying that how __5__ I am. If I don't get the grade I __6__, then I am lost.
Today I was sitting in class trying to make use of the last minutes to study for a test I had to get full marks. When the girl behind me started talking to me, I tried to listen __7__ while still glancing at my study sheet now and then. When I thought the __8__ required it, I smiled, __9__ and agreed. And then I found myself wishing she would be __10__ so I could study. After a while, she said, “You know, you're a really good listener. You're so easy to talk to.” I froze.
I replayed the __11__ in my head before smiling and accepting it gladly. But inside, I knew it wasn't true. She'd made every effort to have a conversation and I wasn't even trying to __12__.
