I love scoring high marks, because they give me the satisfaction, knowing that I can do something great.
People ask me every now and then... what gives me the motivation to excel academically?
I tell them I'm a workaholic. That's true, but it's only part of the reason.
I figure having been kicked around since preschool had some effects on me. This one included.
Having had my dignity bruised and scarred so many times, I decided, at age 16 I'd really soar up high in the world of academics. I wanted to prove to every single soul that I worthed a hell lot. I'd excelled, and it's been my pride every since.
I know a girl, who also survived being bullied throughout high school. She's also eighteen, and she works as a part-time model for a magazine for guys. She's not conventionally pretty, but she's just the kind people would turn their heads right around to get a good glimpse at her. Looking at the pictures she'd posed in (some of which are, I should say, provocative), and her comments about them on Facebook, I could easily tell that she is doing all those things to hide her insecurity, and add some points to her self-worth.
We both shared one similarity: We don't take any insult.
Which reminds me, that I score high marks in every test and exam, to conceal my bruised dignity, and add some points to my self-worth.
To all of you out there: In the end, we all worth something, unless you allow yourself to fall. Don't you ever let yourself go.
