<human>: So all term long, in my writing class, my fellow students have critiqued my writing and  given me bad advice, which I've largely ignored, as I felt I had a pretty good essay and a grasp on argumentative voice and style, and I had been fighting the feeling that perhaps I was wrong, and trying to determine if my ego was getting in the way. At the same time, I was giving advice to all of my peers about how their style and voice was simply unrefined and basic in many ways (and my advice really was good and not condescending, but helpful). 

Now, at the end of the term, I have noticed two things: 1: I got great remarks on our ONE feedback from the actual instructor the week before the final paper is due, basically indicating only one little clean up to do on my paper; and 2: this last week I've seen most of my class commenting about how hard this week has been because they thought they were doing so well with their essays and now must completely go back and rewrite their papers. 

Should I feel bad that I honestly do not care at this point? Or am I justified to let this boost my ego a little bit? I'm all for a constant process of destroying the ego to ground the self, but what is the point of always getting flak from other people who put you down and act like you don't know anything to just put yourself down when you get solid proof that you were right all along?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: my classmates have been idiot jerks all term, I've tried to help, now they are struggling and I'm succeeding, thus now I am resisting an ego boost.
