Jeba: Working on Class Performance
Channel: Flipping Failure
Date: 2019-11-20

Jeba, a low-income student, felt as if she was on top of the world when she was admitted to MIT. After her first exams on campus, she realizes that her test scores are much lower than her peers. Talking with her mom and learning more about the challenges her own family has overcome allowed Jeba to look inside to find strength instead of looking outside and comparing herself to others. Jeba now tries to stay attuned of concepts that she does not understand in lecture and does not hesitate to ask her TAs for help.
