Update: my hard work payed off!!
 I remember the day in December last year when I got my test back and had the lowest grade compared to all of my âfriendsâ. Two weeks before that my friends completely turned their backs on me and studied for the test without inviting me. They completely ignored me and then blamed it all on me, saying it was my fault. I remember feeling sad but also angry at them. I've always said sorry to people and apologized even at times when I truly didn't mean it, but I still did it because I wanted people to like me. That time I didn't apologize because I truly felt like It was not my fault. I did not do anything wrong. But still, I wanted to work hard and prove to them that I am smart and prove myself to them. Well... that didn't work out like I wanted to... like I said at the beginning, my friends all got a really high grade and all the praise I barley passed the test. Â
I remember coming home and falling on my knees crying, screaming and hating myself. I tried so hard to prove them wrong and I still failed. I managed to get the worst grade out of all of them, even tough I studied SO hard.Â
Flash forward to march this year. my final exams were coming up and I needed a certain grade for that same subject/class in order to graduate high school. Again I studied hard, but not for them. I studied for MYSELF. Because I wanted to graduate. I didn't do it to prove them wrong or show them how smart I am. I did it for myself.Â
The day of my final exams: I remember being nervous that day. my two âfriendâ had their exams before me and it was my turn to go. Â
I had my exam in my hand and turned the pages to read all the questions. Suddenly a boost of confidence flew into my soul. I knew how to answer all of the questions.Â
directly after my exam I got my final grade and surprise: I got a perfect score. No wrong answer, everything was correct.
hard work pays off. sometimes you fail, scream and/or cry and that is okay, but remember to wipe your tears, get back up and try again and again and again. it will pay off trust me. Â
