Think big

Do it better

Benjamin,is this your report card? My mother asked as she picked up the folded white card from the table.
  Uh yeah I said trying to sound casually.Too ashamed to hand it to her,I had dropped it on the table, hoping that she wouldn't notice until after I went to bed
   It was the first report card I had recieved from higgins elementary school since we had moved back from Boston to Detroit only be few months earlier
   I had been in fifth grade not even two weeks before everyone considered me the dumbest kid in school and frequently made jokes about me.Before long I too began to feel as though I really was the mist stupid kid in fifth grade despite mother's frequently saying "you're smart Bennie you can do anything you want to do' I didn't believe her
