The next term they placed me in the highest math class in the middle school. At first I thought that it was a mistake, and I had made the right guesses on the test. The math that was being taught was nothing that had ever been presented to me. All the other people around me seemed to understand everything and I could feel the distance between us. It was embarrassing and strange to no longer be the best in the class. In previous classes, I had never paid attention. It soon became apparent that it was necessary to pay attention. Slowly but surely, I learned how to handle the pressure and new information. At the end, I was right on track with everyone else, and that was a great feeling. This proves that even the kids that are seen as inferior actually have the capacity to understand difficult subjects. Being placed in the easier classes only hold back the potential that has been hidden inside the student the whole
