Look, the last few months have knocked a lot of 'smug moron' out of me. Not that I'm not totally acing all my classes or anything, but the Academy's also about teamwork and diplomacy and all that junk, you know? Everyone here is among the best at what they do, so, it follows that a lot of people here are jerks. Part of the work is learning that there are things here bigger and more important than your own pride.
And what I can take from that and give to you is that if so many people think you've got the wrong idea that you're starting to doubt it yourself, maybe now's the time to start asking why instead of digging your heels in.
