Jesse： Hey Jessica！
Jessica： Hey.
Jesse： Come on in. Have a seat.
Jessica： Thanks.
Jesse： So？ How was your week？ What’ve you been up to？ Breaking any hearts？
Jessica： Hehe， no， just had lots of homework and exams.
Jesse： Speaking of which， do you have the homework I gave you last week？
Jessica： You mean that journal entry？ Yeah， I did it. But， the thing is， I kind of forgot it at home. Jesse： Really？ ①Are you trying to pull a fast one？
Jessica： I don’t think I am…
Jesse： Cuz I think I know when someone is trying to put one over on me. I bet next， you’re gonna say that your dog ate your assignment， or your computer crashed.
Jessica： No. I swear.
Jesse： I wanna believe you， but you should know that I am the 1）preeminent master of all things 2）mischievous， and that includes 3）lame excuses.
Jessica： I’m sorry. I promise I’ll bring it next time.
Jesse： ②Well， I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. Don’t disappoint me.
Jessica： I won’t. I promise.
Jesse： OK then， tell me about your week.
Jessica： Um…I actually did really well on my English exam. The teacher said I’ve improved by leaps and bounds.
Jesse： That’s awesome！ I’m so proud of you！
Jessica： Thank you. It felt really great when I found out. It shows that all the practice and hard work have paid off.
Jesse： ③I’m telling you， I see full-on 4）literary 5）stardom in your future.
Jessica： I wouldn’t go that far…
Jesse： No joke. You’ve got the talent， for one， but you’ve also got the drive， and that’s the key to success. Jessica： I hope so.
Jesse： Don’t worry. ④I know you are going against the grain， by focusing on creative writing as a career， that imagination of yours is really gonna take you places in life.
Jessica： Oh？ What kind of places？
Jesse： Places far beyond the horizon. ⑤The world is your oyster， young apprentice. All you gotta do is go out and reach for the stars.
Jessica： But what if I fail， and fall short of the stars？
Jesse： It means you better try again—and again， and again. After all， failure is the mother of all success. No one gets things right on the first try. And for those who do succeed right off the bat， it just means that their goals weren’t lofty enough to begin with.
Jessica： Hmmm， that actually makes sense！
Jesse： You seem surprised.
Jessica： I just never knew you were so full of wisdom. Jesse： What can I say？ I guess I’m basically like a lazier， hairier Buddha. Jessica： But I saw you kill a bug the other day. And then you did a celebration dance around the table.
I don’t think Buddha would approve of such actions.
Jesse： ⑥Well， Ms. smarty pants， it seems things have come full circle—for now the student has become the teacher. CS
