The Pursuit of Accolades: A Reflection on Student Pressure

In the race for medals, trophies, and certificates bright,
Students push themselves with all their might,
For these accolades, they strive and fight,
Their worth tied to achievements, shining so light.

In the quest for recognition, they yearn to be seen,
Their existence defined by accolades, so keen,
Pressure mounts, a heavy burden, unseen,
In the pursuit of success, a relentless routine.

But let us remember, in this competitive spree,
That true worth lies beyond what eyes can see,
In kindness, compassion, and humility,
In the journey of growth, in learning to be free.
