I used to really hate any sort of recognition at school because I hated the attention, but when I got to college and found people who “got it” quicker than me, I (unconsciously) became very jealous. Then I got to know those people, found they weren’t the evil beasts I had made them to be, and learned to utilize them as resources (just like they learned to use my resources). It’s a process of acclimation and learning. College is sometimes like getting out of the hot tub and back into the regular pool–it’s a really uncomfortable shock at first, but you get used to it (and like it, too!).
