It all began during my childhood. I was always bullied for not living up to my family name. My family is well known in my school as a family of brainiacs that always get straight A's. Well, except me. I can say that I am the outcast in our family. I did not show any signs of academic advancement while I was a pre-school student, which led to my parents saying, "He's only a late bloomer like his grandfather!" Turns out I became a below average student during my elementary years! I hardly recited in class, and my teachers seem to expect more from me. Sadly, I cannot meet their sky high expectations. I can hardly even pull a C on all of my subjects, hmm... maybe except Phys. Ed! My parents were so disappointed of me, especially because I am an only child! Hey! Who else will continue the family name? Well I could continue the family name, but the family brain, not so much! I always felt the pressure of being the person that my parents wanted me to be, while I try to fight off the urge to be who I want to be, a carefree guy with a passion for video games! Now that I'm entering High School, I just don't know what tp expect. They say High School is brutal and filled with stress! But I wouldn't want to look like a zombie after I finish 7th Grade! Oh well, this is the life of the academically challenged.
