I woke up today and the first thing I did was check my grades. I knew I'd been doing really well and I wanted to know if I'd gotten my straight A's or if a B had gotten mixed in. All week, I've been talking about my straight A's and how I want them really bad and how I'm so close to getting them... Rather than spread that pride around, I should have reminded myself what I truly am: dust and ashes.
