167


Question 23) Please name the abbreviation for Copper:

...in 6th grade, a teacher would assume for one of their students to simply write down 'Cu' in a borderline legible scribble. This expectation was no different in Mrs. Dayton's science class either. Yet, once i finished with the usually drab tests, I would doodle my silly little characters on the back of the paper. I utilized this process several times and it became habit for me to simply flip over the assignment when finished and sketch away. Although, on this particular day, I decided to make the significance and association of my drawings much more appropriate to what the test contained. Once my test was completed, I started back at the beginning and drew little comics about each and everyone question on the entire test. I even made a comic strip for one of the essay questions that illustrated the growth of a plant. I sat unphased for the remainder of the test diligently working on each drawing. I passed it in as if nothing had happened... well Mrs. Dayton felt quite differently. She saw all of my drawings and decided to reward what I would call "childish doodles" with a +2 for each and everyone. I was unaware of these additional points until I received the fully corrected test a week later. 167 was printed in red marker across the top...
