Q. Justin was jealous when his cousin Cassie was named valedictorian of her class. "Some people are just born smart," he
told himself later as he watched TV on the couch. He had not
been with Cassie all of those times when she studied late into the

class president. "Some people are just more popular than
others," Justin told himself while playing video games on the

Justin's cousin Matthew became the quarterback for the varsity

than others," he told himself as he played around on his
computer. Justin had not been with Matthew while Matthew
trained relentlessly to develop his athletic abilities. "One day
something lucky will happen to me too," Justin told himself as he
snacked on junk food.
