Ricardo sat at his desk, anxiously waiting for his teacher to hand back his math exam. He had studied for the test for weeks. After
his last report card, Ricardo realized that he needed to work on his math grade. His older brother, Lorenzo, was a mathematics
genius, and he helped Ricardo study for the test. The two spent many afternoons going over practice problems. Although he felt
confident while taking the test, Ricardo was now second guessing every answer. He wondered if all the studying had helped his
grade. The teacher put the test on Ricardo's desk. Ricardo flipped it over and saw that he'd earned an A! He smiled, happy with
the result of his hard work.
