According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, one definition of humble is, “not proud or haughty.” According to Kendrick Lamar the definition has something to do with sitting down. Perhaps Lamar means that one should metaphorically sit down and remember that not all eyes are toward him. A person sitting down in the back of the room will of course be less noticeable than someone standing in the middle of it. Being humble is something that many struggle with but that can be worked on throughout one’s life. 

Here are a few of the ways to be more humble in high school:

1. Don’t tell everyone the score you got on the last test.
2. Don’t ask anyone ELSE what they got on that test.
3. Take constructive criticism
4. Accept failure and move on
5. Do not one-up others when they share accomplishments and experiences 
6. Most importantly, ask yourself WHY you are doing something before you do it. This allows you to ensure that you are doing things for the right reasons and not for credit.
