Here's some context before I talk about this: I am a straight-a student and have been that way since letter grades started in elementary school. I'm hardworking and try to keep my gpa at a 4.0 with all I have in me, and I tend to freak out at different levels depending on how many grades are not a's, how I'm feeling that day, and how much I like or dislike that class. I know that might sound bratty of me, but I care about the grades I get. Today, I blew it way out of proportion.
I had a full-on mental breakdown because one of my teachers didn't tell us about an assignment and graded it (I got an f because I didn't do it), my other teacher gave me a c on a PowerPoint that was literally common sense, and my Spanish teacher is pretty much refusing to give me anything but a b for communication skills every week. It was really bad - I regret freaking out that much because all of those problems could have been solved easily, but that led me to realize something.
I know this sounds like a sudden revelation moment, but it was kind of like that - I realized that even though there are hard times in life, it's about pulling yourself through. There will be tough times. There may be times that are so tough that you won't get through. Maybe there will be tougher times than the toughest times. But you'll get through, we almost always do. It takes time, but pulling yourself through makes you resilient.
I don't know why I wanted to share that. Maybe it made me feel better.
