VICTIM vs VICTOR
As many reach the midterms, it is important to point out that as a professor, I’m not seeking class D victims, only student victors.
VICTIM: A victim is someone whose rights are violated, or they are injured, harmed, or killed as a result of a crime or event. Victims do not normally choose it, see it coming, or welcome it.
VICTOR: A Victor is someone who has met their challenge and won and defeated an adverse situation.
