Today I picked Megan up from school and like usual, she started telling me what happened in her classes. Finals are starting tomorrow at her school, so they have been reviewing all week.
Today in her biology class, they played a game as part of a review session. They play games quite a bit as a review, and Megan usually is one of the top placers. She currently has 3 free ice cream cone coupons on our fridge! Today was no different. She said that as they were playing, she could see on their computers who was leading. At one point, it was Megan.
At that moment, she decided that she didn't want to win, but would RATHER let somebody else win, so she entered a wrong answer and dropped herself to 11th place. She said the three people who did win (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) were kids who don't usually get a prize in that class.
On the other hand, she said she also did this because she doesn't want to be known as the girl who always wins the games in biology class.
I was kind of mad at first, "What do you mean you were letting somebody else win??" But then I thought about it again. "Wow! You are thinking of others! Way to live out your faith!" I was proud of her for giving somebody else a chance to win and not just thinking about herself!!! She said she knew the right answer, but purposefully put in the wrong one just to drop herself down in the standings!
Now hopefully she will do a great job on her final tomorrow!!!
