Journaling:
Being an A student was something I was always proud of. Sure I got teased for being a “brainer”. But really, I knew that it wasn't a bad thing. I never had to be told to do my homework. I remember being so excited when my parents bought me a white desk that would be my own personal work space. I loved to learn and took pride in being a straight A student and so were my parents. I excelled at languages and loved sciences. Music was probably my favorite subject. I enjoyed the challenge of writing an essay or learning about the human body in biology. I LOVED learning new instruments and the more complicated parts of music writing. I aimed for high marks and loved the satisfaction of getting an almost perfect score on my biology tests and assignments. Loved the feeling of writing that final closing sentence of my essay and the effect it would give.
There was only one subject that prevented me from getting A+ average. MATH. I was terrible at it. Numbers just never made sense to me. I tried so hard to understand it all but it all got jumbled in my head. But I worked at it. I never gave up. I very rarely got more than a B average in math or chemistry. I think I almost failed my grade 12 advanced math class. I got a C... yuck! I was so embarrassed and obviously disappointed. My grades meant so much to me.
But by the time I was almost done high school, I realized that having a 89% average was nothing to scoff at. I was proud of myself. I worked hard and got into a great college. Everyone was proud of me and I was finally proud of myself. Looking back, it seems kind of silly to have stressed so much over grades. But because I did, I learned great work ethics that I still apply to my daily life. I have a great job that I love and am able to help provide for my family with it. I may have spent “too much” time with my nose in my books, but who knows where I would be now if I hadn't. I'm happy to have been an A student.
