Getting a bad grade on a test.
All my life I have always identified myself as "smart." The very first time I walked out of the Testing Center, I got a horrific grade on my American Heritage class and I was seriously considering throwing myself in front of a bus. Most impactfully, my identification as an intelligent person went down the toliet.
I really hate it when I do horrible on tests these days because I am not currently taking any GEs this semester, and I don't have a valid excuse. I normally do well. But, well, not on a test I recently got back.
"To be mediocre, when only application and diligence would have netted superiority, is an error akin to sin." -Spencer W. Kimball
