<p>I was in your situation too. At high school, I was the kid everyone went to for help. At university, I became the person who went to others for help. It taught me a lot of humility.</p>
<p>A key thing to do is to learn to ask when you need help. Often, bright kids flounder because they’re used to doing everything easily, and they don’t feel comfortable asking others for help and advice. But it’s tons better feeling embarrassed asking someone else for help, than failing an exam because you can’t answer any of the questions.</p>
<p>Another thing to do is to feel proud of your B grades, not ashamed of them. I finished university with the equivalent of a B+ average, and I honestly do not feel I could have worked any harder or done any better. I worked my socks off for those B grades. The people who got As were brilliant, and I was not in their league. </p>
<p>Honestly, being in that situation was really good for me. I learnt humility, patience, how to ask for help and how to work hard. I learnt that although I was smart, I wasn’t brilliant. And I also learnt that that was ok.</p>
