Deal with this NOW! So much of my life, happiness, sadness, anger and general insecurity is based on how much importance I've placed on my academic intellect and so-called prestige.
My school ranked us in ALL our subjects and published them so EVERYONE could see them. It was humiliating and defined my friendship groups, ambitions, and self worth for the LONGEST time.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Your values, your interests, your desires- you. That's what truly matters. It may take time to realise what all of that means and who you are, but it's a journey worth going on
And it'll change! Hyun grew to see how silly it was that he placed so much depth on those grades, but he unfortunately hurt someone along the way.
Be open about your journey and acknowledge you'll make mistakes. We're not infallible. Not in grades. Not in emotions. Not in actions. We're faulty, wonderful creations that all have a part to play
And to all those not academically inclined, I'm so sorry if anyone made you feel worth less, or curtailed your ambitions- your dreams and aims are worthy. Your strengths are incredible and worth acknowledgment
...And then you'll live a happy and self-empowered life. Cos what I just read was nonsense
Also where did the kid disappear for the majority of it?!
