Be Nice To The Person Sitting Next To You At The Bar Exam

I motioned to a proctor and asked to borrow a pen. The proctor in a very stern voice (think the teacher on the Wonder Years) “This is the bar exam. How do you expect to pass it if you didn’t even prepare well enough to pack a pen? You’re not prepared. I’m not helping you”. I’ll never forget it. My heart just about stopped. I was going to be the first student to fail the exam on the account of not packing a pen.
