Mom sat down at the kitchen table and looked at the awards dinner invitation as though she had received bad news from far away. "Baby, it might be a mistake. Sometimes they accidentally send these things out to the wrong people." She spoke slowly and with care in her voice. I was only in the first grade; I didn't understand the big deal and didn't really care about a mistake.

I was embarrassed by the process of learning. On the first day of school my mom talked to my teacher for a long time while I sat at one of the little tables and met people who would be my friends for years including Katie. I was so absorbed in my friend-making that I did not care what my mom was saying to my new teacher and I certainly could not have known that she was expressing her concern about me possibly having a learning disability.

My academic progress was never a topic of conversation. I did not know anything about grades or academic competition. I didn't care. I just liked my beautiful teachers. I loved my friends. I enjoyed doing all the worksheets and activities. My grades did not mean anything to me.

At the awards dinner, we sat by my best friend Katie and her family. She and I talked and laughed all through the meal. But mom looked like she was still expecting bad news. She reached across the table and held my hand right before the principal started handing out awards. "Remember, sweetie, we're just here to enjoy the dinner."

The awards were given out by subject. Within each subject, the grade winners were announced and received a certificate (证书). Math. No Rebecca. Science. No Rebecca. Reading. Katie got that one. She smiled broadly. I caught my mom's face. She was near tears. She looked at me as if I were hurt. But I was fine. She was the one who was hurt, watching all the other children get awards while her own was passed over again and again.
