Eighty percent of the reason I was considered the type of student who would take honors classes was because I was Korean, and Asian Americans have a reputation for being brainiacs…My parents assumed I’d been hit by an intelligence ray as well, but evenutally I proved them all wrong. At first this was a source of pride for me – I was almost defiant about how stupid (and therefore not nerdy or typically Asian( ?U was, but a month into freshman year U realized that U was on track to receive two c’s and one E. When my parents saw my frist few quix scores they were upset but assumed I simply hadn’t studied enough. Their faulty analysis proved to be a worthy alibi. There was a distinct possibility I was a genius; I just didn’t apply myself. Then again, maybe I really was a moron.

This is why I started cheating incessantly.
