How'd this happen? I don't understand?
From a straight A student....to a straight B student.
I've been an A student all my life till freshman year struck me.
I'm trying. I study. I pray. I do all my homework. I try hard on all my tests.
Then why am I failing to exceed my parents expectations. Why?
They say if you try hard enough you'll succeed. They say if you give it the best you got there is no way you will lose.
Then why can't I win? Why can't I succeed? I know I'm trying my best too. I've been skipping meals to study. I've been ditching my friends to study. I've been losing sleep to study. I've been pausing everything....to study
I get lectured by my parents. I get yelled at to study harder. I get punished for getting a B. I get books thrown at me to read. I get thousands of pencils sharpened so I can stab at my paper to study. I get papers to drown my brain into.
I don't get why my best isn't good enough for them? Why isn't it good enough for me? Disappointment is all I see in their eyes. Disapproval is all I hear in their words. Ashamed is all I feel in my heart.
Yelling. Screaming. Disappointment. Studying. Failing.
Is this what life is all about?
Why...why isn't it working. I don't understand...
Maybe my best....isn't good enough.
Help me.
