Report books. Class position. Is it really as important as many deemed it to be? Why are we so fixated on things that are so shallow? Aren't we all working toward a more important goal? Ultimately, it's O levels that count right? So why, are so many people harping on the whole class position thing?
Honestly to me, it's nothing. Because at the end of the day it's whether you know you've done well or not. So what if you're the first few in class? That doesn't mean you're smart. I took my report card and compared it with Grace. And she did wayy better than me, by a long shot and yet her class position is only average. What does that show? Is class position really valid to the extent where it can determine whether you are classified into the 'smart' or 'not so smart' or 'dumb' category?
Class position, I'm saying this now, is not an accurate gauge on how well you did. I won't say my position here but I'm saying this now. I did not do well. I know, this is probably considered 'rubbing it in' for many who is behind my position but honestly, I am saying that at this point, I reallyy did not do well. I cannot emphasize that enough.
O levels are nearer. And we cannot always harp on the fact that our class position is lousy or whatsoever. We need to rationalise. Snap out of it! Get your mind straightened out and think of your next step. The report slips are finished. This year is gone. We have to focus. Looking back at our failures is not going to help us do well the next year. And letting our past failures control and prevent us from reaching our ultimate goal is really very stupid. What is EOYs as compared to Os? We have goals to achieve and living in the shadows of the past is certainly not one of the ways we're going to get them. Think, of your next step because whenever the road looks bleak, always remember, if there was a way in, there will be another way, out.
I'm going to say this to whoever who wants to hear it. If you're going to let your failures control your life, then you will never ever, be a victorian. "As long as the birds are still flying and the stars still shining, for as long as I shall live, I would stand up on my own feet and rise above my fears to conquer the challenges set out for me."
There's a world out there, waiting for you to fall, are you going to show them the failures of your past? Or the success of your future? Think, think for yourself. It's your life against the rest of the world. Show them.
It's your game, play it the way you want to.
