"Sometimes I wish I could just disappear,"

I thought as I was sitting down in my math class, ignoring the teacher. Math was always my least favorite subject and my worst. The teacher would always call on me, even if I didn't raise my hand, and I always got the answers wrong. I started spacing out during math class this year, no matter how hard I try it is never enough because I never pass a single test. Even way back in first grade I kept failing every test, and nobody would offer to help me. I was just a nobody who was so dumb that had trouble solving 1+1 in first grade. Right after my math class, I have gym class, which is my favorite class, so I started thinking about different basketball strategies I could use in the next game. Yeah, I'm on the basketball team. The school decided that the boys and girls would play on the same team, partly because there weren't that many basketball players in the schools, but mostly because there was a bunch of confusions about which team would play next. Then right after gym class, I get to go back home, finally, after 10 long years, I get to go back home and live with my parents again.

Oh wow, five minutes left of math, and the teacher is starting to hand out the homework. I have to at least pretend that I'm doing my work so that when the teacher passes by me she won't notice that I wasn't paying attention, and so I won't get into trouble again. I'll start writing again soon when the teacher is done handing out the homework. Okay, I'm back, the teacher left the room for a few minutes to print something and said that we could do whatever we wanted for the rest of the class. Well only if we are quiet and we get our homework done for tomorrow.

I've always wanted to become a really smart and important person, but people say that this an 'impossible' goal for me because they say that I'm absolutely hopeless when it comes to math. I mean you don't have to be good at math to be a hero, but it helps if you know how to do simple math questions like 10+10. Which I figured out recently was 20, and not 1010, yeah I'm dumb.

When I say I wanna be someone important I don't mean that I wanna be a superhero, everyone my age knows that superheroes don't exist, but I wanna be someone who can save people's lives. Yeah go ahead and laugh, I know that you want to, laugh all you want. But just so you know, I'm dead serious, and I'm not going to give up on my dream no matter what. So if you don't want to see me succeed in achieving my "impossible" dream, then just stop reading and never finish. Now that those who don't wanna finish reading are gone I can continue writing. Awesome I just wasted 5 minutes writing about my goal, now I can head to gym class, and I might write more when I get back.
