Situation: A young student recieves a test along with the rest of his classmates. He is used to doing well on tests, and his classmates are used to him doing well too. They always look at him during tests because they believe looking at him will give them the power to get answers right.
I was confident like always, and I was ready. As I recieved the test, I realized I could not understand any problems. He started to sweat as he frantically searched through the pages, seemingly unable to find a problem he could start on. He sat there knowing so much, but not knowing how to apply it anymore; it was as if his brain was full but turned off, like a car full with gas but not running will never propel its driver and passengers forward. His classmates looked at him as a fountain of power and knowledge, but they noticed that he was struggling immensely. He and they knew what had happened, over-confidence had impaired his knowledge and had turned him into a foolish failure.
