The true meaning of personal excellence was driven home to me yesterday when L told me the story of the latest History test results in her class. Her friend it seems scored 90% and wasn't happy. She felt slightly better when she discovered it was the top mark. However, her standards are such that she doesn't measure up against other scores, it's that she is used to achieving 98% and higher and did not feel that she measured up to her own standard. Admirable, and good for her, although L was quite happy with her 88% score as she was worried about passing in the first place as the questions had been clever.
