Question of the Day!

Honestly? Peer pressure. While my family and instructors recognized my intellectual ambition and generally didn't harp on minor mistakes, I have found that perfection has enabled me to keep my peers off my back, as perfection makes for good optics. The problem is my perfectionist drive ended up isolating me, anyway. While my grades weren't the highest, I still often knew the material better than nearly everyone. I made the hard workers and brown nosers look bad.
