i once was a contestant for a math contest at my high school, and i solved most of the questions so my team won. the next day, my name and other team members names were announced during the morning announcement and i felt very proud. this event boosted my confidence throughout the rest of my life in school.
ah well, i am sure you were good at other things. i was glad i was at least good at that. i did not find myself too interesting so i had a very hard time fitting in so that was the only thing i was able to be proud of at that time
that is good. i was never very good at math in school.
