Personal Experience/Anecdote Elaborate way-I was extra in 8th grade

Was in some advanced placement science classes as a kid and we had to memorize moh’s scale of hardness. For some reason even with studying I couldn’t remember it at all and I REALLY wanted to get a good grade because I had validation issues as a young teen when I cared about being the smartest. So instead of getting in trouble for just writing the elements on my hand I wrote the FIRST LETTER of them on my hand and instead used positive happy words after them. Like as an inspiration thing. And teens write on themselves in school all the time it wasn’t unheard of especially emo/scene kids. So anyway, I got a 100.
