my grade on my most recent quiz.  and i'm learning to accept that. and not be defined by numbers.  like this. and the number at the top of my Bank of America account page. or the number on the scale. or the number that shows up (or doesn't) on my caller i.d.

it could have been a 100. but i was distracted, analyzing each possible word and thinking that maybe this professor is "like that one philosophy professor" who tried to trick us with his wording on quizzes.  and it looks like this time, this teacher, just wants us to have more of the heart of the matter.

it's kind of all about learning the content AND getting to know the leader.  hmmm ... knowledge and relationship.  understanding the material and understanding your leader's expectations.  and remembering that the growth is still real.  even if the number isn't what i want, exactly.
