“It was true that lots of kids at school were competitive about grades and class standing.” I know a little something about being competitive, possibly because I am one of the most competitive persons in the world. I do question though, what makes people competitive? I don’t know what it could be. Why do professional athletes have the tenacity to win and the drive to succeed when others simply could care less? For me everything is a competition, even the classroom. From the beginning of elementary till now I’ve found that I have to be at the top. It may be a blessing or a curse but it is true. I feel that if I weren’t so aggressive I would not have half the things I have now. I don’t think I could live without being competitive, although losing sucks!
