A compliment from a friend

Vahan Petrosyan, one of Dave’s recitation leaders and a good friend of mine, paid me a great compliment today. I crossed paths with him and his girlfriend Ying in the engineering building today. The first thing he said had to do with Exam P.

VAHAN: How did you do?

ME: I passed!

Vahan smiled and gave me a high five.

VAHAN: That’s great!

ME: Yeah!

I hadn’t talked with Ying before.

YING: I do the review sessions for your probability class.

ME: Oh, yeah. I don’t think I’ve ever been to one of those.

VAHAN: Well you obviously don’t need it.

YING: Vahan told me that there was a super smart guy in that class.

ME: Thanks, Vahan!

I love compliments. I should give them more often, because they feel so good. Vahan has passed the first two actuarial exams, as has Ying, so they are both geniuses. Very cool.

  1. Well, as we've discussed, you know I'm a math genius. I'd say you probably qualify as well.

    1. What I meant to say is that all three of us have passed exams, so we have something more in common now. I still admire them both greatly because they have taken some much harder classes than I have and are doing very well with advancing in actuarial science.
