Everyone thinks I'm smart. I just work hard sometimes.
When I do well it's brushed over, because it's expected,
because I'm "naturally smart." Do naturally smart
people even exist? For a whole semester I just barely passed
everything. I worked my butt off and only just scraped through. I
was so nervous when my report card came. But my parents
didn't even look at it. I should have been relieved, but I
was just hurt. I always get sensitive over the most trivial
things, but years after I still. Idk. I still think about it
sometimes. How they didn't check because they assumed it was
all A's. That's kinda when I realised I had to start
working hard for myself. My parents are already happy, assuming
I'm acing everything. I needed to work hard for just myself,
because to some extent they didn't care.

After all it is your life, it is your career. Those who pay themself seen to do better. I loved college. My dad wanted me to be a draftsman. I told him why would I do that? I told him I was going to be an engineer. I did good. I still do good. You will do good because you can. No other reason just because you can. It is enough.
