Suddenly tinamad ako mag aral, I was only chatting Sandro the whole time at sana wag pumasok si papa dito kasi nakalimutan nyang iground ako and buti naman.

By the way what year are you in?

evangelistalrrn
I'm in grade 10, I never thought grade 10 is hard.

sandromarcos7
Grade 10 isn't as challenging as it may seem, Lorraine. In my opinion, it's actually one of the least difficult years among all the high school levels. However, if you're finding Grade 10 tough, I would suggest preparing yourself thoroughly for college, as it will be even more demanding.

evangelistalrrn
Actually you're right, I do not find grade 10 hard if my parents wouldn't challenge me and pressure me to be at the top, maybe I'll find grade 10 easy if I wasn't scared of disappointing them, I hope they learn to ask me if I am still ok

sandromarcos7
I understand that your parents might have high expectations. Are you feeling any pressure at the moment?

evangelistalrrn
The pressure never missed a day or an hour in my life, only if my parents learn to be contented with what I can exert, maybe I'll enjoy my highschool life.

sandromarcos7
How are things going with your studies?

evangelistalrrn
It was good but I'm not bagsak, I only got 89 in math and mama and papa went furious on me, they always want me to get above 95

sandromarcos7
It's important to focus on learning and understanding, not just the grades. As long as you're working hard and learning something new, that's what matters

evangelistalrrn
Thank you for that Sandro, but I just want to let you know that my parent's mindset doesn't work like that, they want me to get on top, not just second but literally on top

sandromarcos7
I understand that your parents have really high expectations on you, maybe it is okay to tell them how you feel and tell them the pressure that you've been facing, there's nothing wrong with being vocal with your parents, just let them know that you can also feel exhausted, and that's important.

evangelistalrrn
You just don't understand me, they wouldn't listen to me and wouldn't understand my pressure in studying as long as I give them 'good grades' to boast about in public.

sandromarcos7
Okay kung ayaw mo edi both nalang hahaha

evangelistalrrn
Anong both pinag sasasabi mo dyan hahaha I'm their daughter so alam ko talaga kung anong gusto nila sa una palang no desisyon ka

sandromarcos7
Lorraine, you're so dedicated, but I worry about you. I know you're under a lot of pressure, and it's okay to take a break. It's important to look after yourself, not just for your work but for your well-being. Take some time to check in with yourself. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you taking care of your needs? It's okay to slow down, Lorraine. We all need rest sometimes.

evangelistalrrn
Thank you for the advice Sandro, I sure will take it, by the way may girlfriend ka na ba

sandromarcos7
Why do you wanna apply? Hahahaha

evangelistalrrn
Sapakin kita dyan I'm too young for you nag tatanong ako ng maayos.

sandromarcos7
Just kidding ang kulit mo talaga, syempre wala no I'm too focused on my candidacy.

evangelistalrrn

sandromarcos7
Way back 2020 pa yung last girlfriend ko, hbu?
