Not literally, of course. Math Analysis last year, boy was it hard. Luckily, the entire school year, I kept on licking that lollipop and I finished with an A in the class. Some of my friends threw the tootsie pop in the trash. They gave up. Accepted the fact that they couldn’t do it. They didn’t understand the homework, they weren’t passing the tests, they were done with the class. They wanted to throw that tootsie pop in the trash and abandon that mission forever. But one girl in my class kept trying. No matter what. She didn’t stop. I helped her on one of the units towards the end of the year.
