Its Ok

This last weekend I had to remind myself of something very important… the difference between an A and B isn’t life or death. Ever since a young child, education has been stressed and encouraged in my family. I am so grateful for my parents helping me develop a love of learning and a desire to do my best in everything. But as soon as I came out to BYU I realized that perfection (in school) is almost impossible for me. I really struggle with taking tests. It doesn’t matter how much I study, but I always seem to do poorly. What I have come to realize, especially in these upper-division classes, your entire grade is based on the tests. It’s awful! The desire to learn is still there and I love my classes but they are hard. I try my very best, balancing school, work, friends, and family but still don’t seem to match up. BUT what I have come to realize and what I always try to remind myself of, is the fact that an A or B grade in human anatomy will not change my effectiveness of being a mother and wife. Granted it may help a little bit to know a thing or two about the human body but my love for my family and others will not change or diminish because I got a B instead of an A. I will try my very best and that’s all I can do – its ok.
