the significance of the post below

we had a discussion the other day at lunch about type a personalitites and law school, and how most law students seem to be type a. i feel pretty far from that, as i am competitive about some things (notably, competitions) but generally pretty laid back. i mean, when i am competing in some kind of competition, i get competitive. but that's only natural, right? perhaps it's just a product of the fact that i was one of the last generations where people won 1st 2nd and 3rd in the race and everybody didn't get a "participant" ribbon.
