In Perspective

Of the many uplifting conversations I have had today, this one is especially endearing.

(The names have been omitted to protect nothing in particular.)

Friend says: tonight is your night!!!
Karen says: Friend, I'm petrified, and I feel awful. I just know I didn't study enough, I know I failed, and I don't want to face other people.
Friend says: don't defeat yourself, young lady!
Karen says: Friend, the repeater passage rate is so low
Friend says: who cares? I think you will pass! keep your head up! ... I am going to think of you tonight, my dear. this is a time where every woman must stand alone, but I'm confident in you....
Karen says: You're so funny. Friend, I am just so depressed by the low bar passage rates. I just don't get why Feb's passage rate is so low.
Friend says: pass rates are aggregate ie no apply to individs
Karen says: It was so easy for you and [other friend who passed]. They don't want us to pass in February. They don't want us to pass.
Friend says: they do!
Friend says: i do
Karen says: i know you do, boo
Karen says: i'm going to lunch now with my neighbor. i'll talk to you later.
Karen says: thanks for everything
Friend says: youre the best

The numbers never really tell the truth. I have to learn to just let go. Either way, a little later, it will be a positive result.
