2016 me to me LUH ok

2016
Starting my highschool life, I decided to study more. I wanted to prove myself (and everyone) that I can reach the top too. During my elem, I was the lazy child of the fam; I would rather play outside than study for hours. I was the only one (in the fam) who's not +

an honor student. I kinda felt ashamed, yes. And so I was dedicated. I at least wanted to be part of the "Achievers". I listened well in class. Took notes for reviews. Studied well to pass. Stress was not yet part of my vocabulary. +

I loved what I was doing-- Studying. I enjoyed turning pages from a textbook, highlighting words for reviews, and even memorizing tons of words for exam. I never felt stressed (at first hehe). I had fun studying, because I'm learning. +

The dedication to be part of the top class made me climbed up. The efforts that I put through were paid off. My parents were proud of me. And so I am. +

But it wasn't always like that, folks. The days came where I felt stressed. There were times that I think too much abt my grades. Sometimes, I would only study to pass and not to learn. I sometimes lose motivation too. +

Despite of these, I still wanted to keep moving. For my dreams.

"It's okay to fall down as long as you get back up." +

"I wish I was as smart as her"
"She's so smart"

As I continue to learn, my brain functions well, and fast. +

I admit though that I'm not good with words. Or putting my thoughts into words. It also took me courage to tweet these.

I just wanted to tell you that if u wanted to be like this or that, then u gotta work for it. It's not magic. +

Still, u gotta remember that grades don't define you. If u want to learn, then study. Studying is not only reading textbooks or taking school. There are still other ways to study. Fun ways. +

Anyway, the main topic for this thread is my dedication. I wanted to share how I got something that I want, being dedicated.

*this is embarassing huhu might or might not delete lol*
