ever since my family, especially my parents and my godmother, discovered i did well in academics (i think i was in grade school), theyve always pressured me to excell, do as good as possible. I got mostly A's until middle school, and if i ever got lower than a B, id get yelled at, cuz i was wasting too much time, cuz i sat around watching tv. i was expected to get good grades, i was expected to get into a good college. Not because i wanted to, but because they wanted me too. I went along with it, i studied, i stressed, i drove myself nuts trying to be perfect. my mom was proud, and i was a nervous wreck.
Then i started to think about what I wanted, not what someone else thought i should do. I stopped stressing school. i relaxed, ignored my godmother.
now i do just enough to pass, i dont mind, life is so much easier now.
and everyone else can suck it
