I’m a straight-A student and have been my whole life .When you come from a family of educators, it just seems 　36　 .

With high academic standards and a competitive 　37 , I don’t just like losing and I also can’t 　38 it. I need to beat the 　39 students, perfectly in everything. I’ve even gone so far as to define myself by my 　40 , saying how outstanding I am. If I don’t get the grade I 　 41 then I am lost.

　 Today I was sitting in class trying to 　42 the last minutes studying for a test in which I had to get full marks. 　43 the girl behind me started talking to me, I tried to listen 　44 while still glancing at my study sheet 　45 .When I thought the conversation required it, I smiled, nodded and 　46 . And then I found myself wishing she would be 　47 so I could study .After a while, she said, “You know, you’re a really good 　48　 . You’re so easy to talk to.” I froze.

　 I replayed the praise in my head before smiling and accepting it 　49 . But inside, I knew it wasn’t true .She’d made every effort to have a conversation and I wasn’t even trying to 　50 .

　 I passed the test excellently despite my 　51 of lost study time, but the one thing I needed to learn most wasn’t on that test. I had 　52 being the best student so that I had failed at just being normal. So what 　53 to me most? What I have is all about my personal 　54　 and about me being too self-centered. There can only be so many scholars, but there is 　55 enough sympathy. I want that to be what matters to me --- sympathy.
