Freshman

Two days ago was an weird day.

I only had one class and the class was social statistics. It’s a 300 level course and it’s full of Juniors and Seniors. I am the only Freshman in that class along with no sophomores as well.

I don’t treat myself as inferior or superior. I am just a student in this class, that’s how I see it.

But yesterday, in groups of 2 or 3, we had questions about data and how would we make a table. What would the independent, dependent variables be and where would you put it? And whatever.

We earned points for getting them correct. People would have to go up to the board and draw their tables and whatever.

So I’m usually the passive student, I don’t do anything unless someone calls me up.

I awaited for people to showcase their answer on the whiteboard and examine how they do it. Really, the only way I’m learning most of the time is by people’s mistakes and successes.

The professor said one more try and no one could get it.

I walked up and drew my table.

It was correct and I walked back to my seat.

Then the next table we had to draw, people were guessing and guessing.

I already drew out the table with the percentages and numbers in my notebook and awaited till it was my turn or till no one could get it.

My group went up with me as I drew my table. Then we sat down.

The professor said we were correct.

Someone then announced “Damn Freshman, making us look bad.”

Freshman, I am a Freshman but what can I do about it?
