I have never been thus treated in my entire life.-Lady Catherine de Bourg

Today I learned a very wonderful lesson.  I won't lie, it was quite painful, and I didn't handle it the best.  You see, today, I got  a bad score on a writing paper that DID NOT have bad writing in it.  It was a good paper, maybe not an A paper, but not the horrific score it received.

I was  a little upset.
I have never been thus treated in my entire life.  
Ok. So I was furious.

I just feel like she gave me a bad grade simply because she doesn't like me, and she doesn't like that my writing isn't exactly like hers.  It makes me so grumpy that she has power over me to fail me and force me into her little box of writing. 

All I could think over and over was how unfair it was, to me and the rest of the class. I came home and ranted about it (even scaring puppy).  Once it was over, I felt silly, oh so silly.  That's when I realized my lesson.  Some things just aren't fair, and some things are just flat out wrong.  But in the long run it doesn't matter.  I need to learn to be calm and deal with it, such is life sometimes and being so upset and so hateful about it doesn't help anything. 

My Elder Brother paid the price for me and this teacher and I need to be more Christlike, for the less Christlike I am, the less pennies I will have to offer him.  As painful as the experience was, I am very grateful to learn something, especially something from my Savior.
