Make a virtue of necessity Why Should I Care

Why Should I Care?

Have you ever met one of those people who is always in a good mood? It doesn't matter if he or she is at an 8 a.m. class, or staying late after school to work on b-ball drills—this person is cheerful and peppy all the time.

Us? We need a few cups of coffee in the morning before we would call ourselves anything approximating cheerful. But we sure do envy those people who always have it together. They're peppy and prepared no matter where they go. Those people, Shmoopers, are really good at making virtue of necessity.

That's just a fancy way of saying they're making the best of a situation. They're not letting someone else get them down. Ever. You've probably heard the saying that "you can't control what cards you're dealt, but you can choose how to play them." Well, these sunny spirits are taking one pair and acting like they've got a royal flush.

And Shmoopers, we don't want to be playing against them any day of the week.
