Jason prided himself on always trying his best. His approach to the SAT was no different. Every night, he memorized 500 vocabulary words. Instead of comic books, he read test prep books in his spare time. He employed a tutor for $100 per hour.
When his latest test scores were returned, he cried to learn that he had scored in the bottom thirtieth percentile. It was the 17th time he’d taken the test. He was 37 years old.
Jason had a hard time accepting that no matter how hard you try at something, sometimes you’ll never be good.
