Getting Above
When I was in 9th grade, I did Algebra 2 like most of my peers. I was jealous of the few who were in Precalculus: because I knew I could reach their level. I was ecstatic to find out that there was an upcoming diagnostic which if I passed I could take Precalc over summer and catch up to the people ahead of me. So I studied year-round for the test and passed. My months-long fear of staying behind was gone. I later went on to do calculus in 10th grade and get a 5 on the exam.
