Mistakes EVERYONE makes them that is why erasers were invented.  We learn and grow from our mistakes.  Some of us are sooo afraid to make a mistake that we make ourselves so nervous before a test.  Others are so confident that they know the material and they would never make a mistake. Then there are some that mistakes just don't matter to them, they have made so many that what are some more going to matter.  They have basically given up on mistakes.  I can remember, from my older son, the first time he made a mistake in 5th grade and he was devastated.  Being a Teacher and a Mom I explained to him there is nothing wrong with that you will read the question twice next time and you learned a valuable lesson from the mistake.
