That one time in junior high school is a turning point ☻
Its happen when i& #39;m in junior high school, a music class, the teacher want us to form a band, he decide the group, and he want us to play a song for final assignments
And me, a girl that can& #39;t play any music instrument is in a group with all boy
These boys is cool, each of them can play instrument, and we got a one boy that can sing, his voice is.. okay
Its should be easy for me right? My group is perfect,

Except... its not https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💀" title="Skull" aria-label="Emoji: Skull">
They ask me what instrument i can play, and i said i cant play any, but, well you all good, please decide what instrument i should play and teach me a little, i& #39;m a fast learner
I promise, I can study it fast

But their respond is like this https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index">
Idk what to said, should i lie that i can play one instrument, when i clearly can not???

Then they decide for me to play drum,
Well, i learned it when i& #39;m in elementary school,
they can teach me a little, just the rythm or whatever and i& #39;ll play it well

But, they dont...
Our first practice in studio, they are pro
Like, they know what to do
Me?? I still dont know what to do, i ask them to teach me
But they said,
Nah.. u girl can never play it well
Just let us the boys have some fun with this
They ignore me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Pensive face" aria-label="Emoji: Pensive face">
I& #39;m confused bcs, it should be a team project?
We should do it well as a team for our assignment,
But then i know, the teacher will evaluate us individually, the score is individuals
That why they dont care..
I feel so insecure like, did they hate me?
But we dont have any problem before, we are fine
To the point i ask them did i do something wrong?
They answer, nah...
I didnt do anything wrong, they just said its useless for me to learn it
I asked WHY ??
Why it useless?? I want to learn

They said, even if i do it bad, i will passed the assignment, all the girl in the class cant play music, they assume the teacher will give the girls score, not a good score, but we& #39;ll passed anyway
Idk how can they think like that, bullshit

So, i asked my other friends, they said i& #39;m lucky my group is good i shouldnt need to worry,

But i dont feel it right
Untill, i find out my group did some practice without me

They left me out,
I& #39;m tired
Its a week before assignment, they said nothing
I completely ignored

So, i cried to my mom

My mom asked me, did i have other friend that can play drum?
Then my mom, give me money, to booked a studio, ask my other friend to teach me till i can play it good
I remember i booked a studio for 2 hours, and this one friend (not from my group), he teach me to play drum for this specific song we will use in assignment

He teach me for an hour, then left
So, i continue studied myself
My 13 yo ass, ride a bike to studio, everyday after school, using my pocket money to book a studio and learn by myself how to play drum

Bcs i dont want that boys, humiliate me, in the assignment day
Y& #39;all i remember that day, the assignment day, when i play the drum well (at least its sounds well for me,lol)
And all that boys shocked face, hah!

My group did it great, well, we got the best score
My teacher, he never know i can play drum,
he give me smile and pat in the head
The best thing is, when the individual score come out,

I thought, i did well, at least i& #39;ll get quiet good score, not the average

And turn out, i got the best score among my groupmate https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Relieved face" aria-label="Emoji: Relieved face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖕" title="Reversed hand with middle finger extended" aria-label="Emoji: Reversed hand with middle finger extended">
Which mean, best score in class
Fck that boys

They shocked, of course
The hilarious thing is, they thought i lie, when i said i cant play any instrument

Well, i cant play for sure (before)
But i have determination and i work hard for it
So stop underestimate a girl for fck sake
And i thought it was over, but a senior come to my class

He come to me, and asked how can i play drum well, he want me to join them practice music, for music club in my school and i can be one of them,

He mean, a school band

Imagine my classmate face, lol

FYI, i& #39;m a nerd https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd face" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd face">
Well, i should accept the opportunity, but nah
I just don& #39;t think its suit me

And now, everytime i got this treatment, men that underestimate me bcs i& #39;m a girl,

I always thought bout the past, how i can beat all that arrogant boys from my music class
They key is determination and hard work

And i keep doing it, the more people underestimate me, the more determined i am to prove them wrong https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💀" title="Skull" aria-label="Emoji: Skull">

Well, its actually nothing

I just write it here so i can re-read this thread everytime i feel down

to remind myself that...
I CAN DO ANYTHING!!

I just need to believe in myself, and work hard

Nothing is impossible
Don& #39;t let people underestimate u
Don& #39;t let their words hurt

I CAN DO IT!
