Let Me Try

          This story took place last year when I was with some buddies at a friends house. While there, our friend Eddie was complaining about how he was having difficulty with a take home quize that he had to do. "Hey Ed" I said "Let me try it out". Eddie handed me the quize and I looked over it. The quize had something to do with buisness and math. I decided to call my friend Dave for help since he was a business major. Unfortunilty he didn't pick up, so I decided to give it a shot myself.
          If I remember correctly, all the questions were multiple choice. So I figured I could find the answer by using the process of elimination. I asked Eddie to hand me his recources and got to work. After I was finished I handed back Eddie's quize and showed him how I got my answers. Him and the others were pretty impressed that I was able to complete the quize. Now relieved of his stress, Eddie was able to enjoy the rest of the night with us.
          A few days later I was walking on campus when I heard someone yelling at me, "YOU F-CKING -SSHOLE!". I turned to see Eddie walking up to me. "What's wrong?" I asked. He had partial smile on his face so I knew he wasn't too mad at me. "I just got my homework back and every question you answered was wrong" he said "I am the only person in the class that failed the take home quize". "My bad, I thought I knew what the answeres were" I said with a smile. I couldn't help but find his reaction funny. "Unbelievable Chris" he said "Never again am I letting you help me with a quize or test". When he was done venting his frustration we went about the rest of our day.
          I told this story to Dave later on and he laughed so hard he was nearly in tears. I think the moral of the story is to do your own homework, but if you must get help, check their answers. Who says my blog posts have no educational value.
