uma

Uma was given the Iowa tests of basic skills in April 2008. At the time of testing she was in second grade at the B academy.
Uma earned a composite grade equivalent of 5.4 on the level 8 test. This means that her test performance was approximately the same as that of a typical student in the fifth grade at the end of the fourth month. Uma's Composite national percentile rank of 99 means that she scored higher than 99 percent of the second grade students nationally. Her overall achievement appears to be high for second grade.

how did I get to be this lucky?

Excellence

that's what is is about.. not competence, not winning, not accolades. Not about seeing adulation in the eyes of the admirers, not about acceptance, not about fame and power.. it is about the satisfaction of pushing yourself farther and farther -- and learning and growing and being better than the best you could be ..
i should never forget this...
