Lots of Patience

I am currently on a ski trip and I came to improve my skills. Unfortunately, there is a kid in my group with bad manners. I made the mistake of letting him get to me and forgot to focus on my skills as did the other kids in my group including my instructor. Yesterday she told me she she wasn't going to let him get to her. He skied over her,went off course, started arguments,threw snow balls, and generally misbehaved, but she continued to be polite and calm and his attitude has improved because of it. I'm just happy there is someone like her to have more patience than the rest of us.
