Schoolwork, especially tests, challenged me when I was a child. I wanted to do well and so I found other ways to achieve - I created boardgames for history, I wrote poetry and did extra research projects for English and my Science Fair experiments were award-winning. I now use my superpower characteristics of Creativity, Drive and Determination that I found then in all aspects of my life today - as a mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, humanitarian as well as in my career. When there are challenges, I seek out a different path to take me where I want to go. I take no, not as a dead end, but as the start of a new road. And ultimately, for me overall love and gratitude creates a passion that overrides all else!
Imagine how many other students would benefit from the way you reframed your test taking. Thank you for sharing, Karen! It's such a nice reminder there continue to be different paths for us to take and create no matter how small.
