......but it's more important to be nice.
This is a mantra we've recently introduced to our 5th grader when her pre-teen ego gets a little bit bruised. Unfortunately, being nice doesn't always mean you'll come in first.
.........Or that you'll even come in 2nd (there was a 2 way tie for 1st).
But learning how to put yourself out there, take pride in your efforts, and deal with life's disappointments is priceless.
