One of my many duties involves administering and supervising national standardized tests. Montly, I watch anxious high achieving students and slackers alike file into my building with #2 Pencils and calculators in hand to allow a test to dictate their future. I am always shocked by the number of students who forget their registration and ID, or don't bring pencils or even worse have unsharpened pencils!!!
As an adult, I have come to miss the predictabilities of youth. When something as simple as 3 hours broken down into 25 minute increments could mean so much and matter so little. The least one can do is be prepared. I yearn for something a non biased as an answer document judging my responses. The tests life sends our way have no time limit and can't be studied for. Some of us are overachievers and some are slackers, but all are tested. In love and in life, it's always best to be prepared if nothing more.
