I
grew up in a house where...
School was everything.
Where your
grades decide your future. Where
emotional days were non-existent. And homework and studying
was not optional. Where a classroom was meant for learning trig,
history lessons and physics labs.
But I
have learned that...
Life lessons are more important than math lessons... any
day. That one days break to regroup and
recover is better than a week off because you pushed yourself too
hard. And relationships made within a
classroom are more important than any chemistry report or art project.
But more than anything, I
have learned that stress causes depression. And all of the pressure left
me stressed & it wore me down, emotionally and physically.
School is not everything. Yes, grades are important, but being
happy with yourself should be your
number one goal.
