School life has got to be the most memorable yet frustrating and exhausting part of every teenager's life, from making amazing friends, to losing friends you thought would stay in your life forever, to going through some really tough times keeping up with your grades or assignments, school life has taught us that things take a turn for the worse but also for the best, and all we can do is hope to keep our sanity by the end of it!
One important lesson I've learned at scbool, is that not everything has to be about your grades and that we can live a happy and successful life even if we don't get straight A's , which I think not many understand these days. Now don't get me wrong, getting A's is great,but it's time to start appreciating kids that put in all their efforts just to end up with a C and a demotivating comment from a teacher leaving them feeling hopeless.
You never know when your life takes a turn for the best. Just because some people take more time than others, doesn't mean they're incapable, everyone works on their own time and that's totally okay.
Always remember, there's a difference between being smart and getting good grades.
The point I really want to emphasize on, is that there are always gonna be people who're smarter than you, have more friends than you or seem to have cooler clothes than you, but that in no way makes you less capable or less important than them! You're your own person and that's what makes you different and unique!
I wanna share a small story in this post, I basically never liked physics, always dreaded it...I still dread it and because I simply don't have any interest , I never did well and almost always hoped to "just pass"in my exam, so during my ASlevel mock exams, my teacher asked me if I was sure about giving my finals in May, because she thought I wasn't ready and wouldn't do well, but I still gave the exam in hopes of doing better but as you'd expect..I din't, but I din't let that get to me and kept trying my best because I knew, it would eventually get better and my hard work would someday pay off.
So long story short, A2 started and november exams rolled by with a blink of an eye and again, I did all I could to bring my grade up, and to my surprise...and my teacher's haha, I got a good grade and this is just an example of how hard work pays off even if it takes years to show. I mean the last time I did well in physics was I think 3years ago!
My point being, I wish more of us start congratulating ourselves on the small progress we make, no matter how small it is, it's always better than no progress at all right? Let's appreciate our hard work and be our own inspiration, it's going to change your life in ways you never thought was possible.
