I am tired of feeling stupid. I try to surround myself with smart people. People who will broaden my horizons and challenge my views, and make me think. But instead I just end up feeling stupider. I'm not a dumb person, but sometimes I just feel like I am not good enough to achieve my goals. No, I don't feel like I am good enough to have the opportunity to achieve my goals. My fate will lie in the hands of a few, who don't know me from Jane or Bob. I'm sure they are very nice people as well, but why should they get in over me? Then again - what makes me so great that I should get in over them? Grades aren't supossed to be the be all to end all, but they are when it comes to school. My goal is to teach my students that their worth is NOT to be found in a grade or a mark. I never learned that lesson, or perhaps I did, but too late. And now that it does matter, I will be left behind with the rest of the "stupid" people. Or perhaps, it will just be me.  ¶ 7:46 PM
