Vain pride

To complete a work that has taken enormous time and effort is extremely satisfying. School is one of those long problems that I have just solved. I finished my undergrad schooling and it is bliss to be done. I have been running so fast and hard with this problem thinking that when I complete it I will be slightly more caught up with everyone.

Now, I get this foolish pride that tells me I am almost caught up. Just the other day I realized that I have the same level of degree as my favorite high school calculus teacher. Foolish thinking I know because I am still so young an inexperienced. Life has taught him so many lessons I can only hope to learn. What I am trying to say is that it is weird for me to see that I have as much school as a number of successful people I know. Again foolish thinking because I see that I am defiantly not at their level. I lack something big that must make up the difference.

Thus, I must now learn that I am still no further than most people in life. I just have another silly paper; that is all.
