This story reminds
me of the time
Liam's math teacher announced that their test would be given on Thursday. As
she walked around the class, she handed out a study guide. "You will complete this
study guide at home tonight. It is due tomorrow. I want to go over it together as a
class so you have enough time to study through the week," Mrs. Beckett explained.
"Do your best. This study guide looks a lot like the test."
Math was difficult for Liam, so he was nervous about the test on Thursday
With the right answers on his study guide, Liam went to his room every night that
week and studied. He looked at the problems over and over. It didn't seem to be
helping, though. Liam was still very nervous and he felt unprepared. What would the
problems look like on the real test? How would they be different than the study
guide?

grade. He glanced over at her paper at the very beginning. Then, it became a habit.
a
After each question he finished, he looked at the girl's paper. He wanted to make sure
he got them right. When his answer did not match the girl's, he changed his answer.
He decided that she probably had the correct answer since she was so smart. The
paper came back with a 100. However, Liam's guilt felt heavy in his chest. He didn't
earn that grade, so he couldn't be proud of himself for that
