I mean, who really cares?" Or I'd say, "I don't really care if we win this essay contest. The chances are so slim, why hope?" <br /><br />So, I'm a little different. And diversity is good.LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208588882516068765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671922467974087789.post-7271150994978969882013-05-26T06:44:47.488-07:002013-05-26T06:44:47.488-07:00I was very competitive whenever possible with my m...I was very competitive whenever possible with my middle schoolers.

When I mentioned again today that I had won, one of the students mentioned that I was "assertive" and that's the only reason I won. <br /><br />I'm sorry that your team didn't win.
