My proudest moment - for QuestBridge

My proudest moment was when I scored the highest on an Algebra II quiz in my class, my junior year. It was an open notebook quiz, however, I challenged myself to do the work without the help of my notebook to see whether I was intellectually capable of taking the class. I was very anxious, with a red hot face - and as a result, I did not want to turn in my work. I encouraged myself to be confident since it was just a test, and if I failed, I still had the chance to work harder. Consequently, as the results arrived I was very nervous to see my grade that I lost appetite the whole day till I got my score. Fortunately, I scored a hundred percent which made me relieved and extremely happy that I showed my grade to all my colleagues and my parents when they asked about it -I could not take my eyes off my paper the rest of the day.
