Maybe...
Finals week. I have 6 finals to take and 150 finals to grade, but that isn't what is stressing me out. I actually don't know what it is. Maybe a feeling of inferiority as I sit trying to study hearing everyone talk about their honors theses, med school applications, published research, grad school scholarships, and the like. Maybe a feeling of guilt as I think about all of the things I could have done better in my calling, as a visiting teacher, for my roommates this year. Maybe a feeling of jealousy as I wonder why I can't afford to spend the summer in South America. Maybe I should get off my butt and go do something good in this world rather than crying about it, sheesh.

I adore you. Hang in there. You can always come to Arizona, it's kinda like South America.
I used to feel inferior to those people who were all scholarly and understood and retained everything ever spewed out at them. But then I realized that I was not one of those people. I know my limits and I am happy living here within them. But you've got nothing to worry about my dear. 6 finals and 150 to grade is enough to give you some kind of medal. Good luck.
I love you Rachel and if can do ANYTHING for you, i.e., make you dinner, rub your feet, make you laugh, etc., please call me this week! My finals will be over pretty quickly, so I will have time!
My dad always says, "Some people are really good at school, but when they get out in the REAL world, they can't hack it. Other People are not at the top of their class in school, but excel in the real world." I think you can take on the real world, so don't worry about those honors and medals everyone else gets. No one in the real world cares about those anyway. They just want to know if you can work hard. Hey, I didn't even graduate from high school, but look where I am. :)
Don't compare yourself to anyone else, just remember that you are AMAZING!!!
