<p>As in you aren’t really learning anything in your classes and all you’re doing there is forcing yourself to get A grades, take the hardest courses just to suffer, and to impress the colleges?</p>
<p>This college game is not something I like. I constantly have to impress just to get into a decent university by suffering. Finding my passion? My passions aren’t academically oriented or towards volunteering. How can I impress by that?</p>
<p>Also involved is the pressure from tiger RELATIVES, not just my parents. Everyone in the family is expected to have great everything in order to not be disowned. My other Asian friends have been taken away to sleep over at other peoples’ houses because their parents couldn’t face them. </p>
<p>I am a robot. I AM A GUNNER WHO IS READY TO GET INTO IVY KEAGUE BABEH,M,!,!!,!, , ,</p>
<p>School typically favors those who perform at a robotic quality. However, I don’t feel as if I’m a robot. I take the classes I want to take and am actually excited about the AP classes I will eventually take (waiting until junior year like a sane person). My parents expect me to go to a state school, which slightly pisses me off because I know I can reach further than that. But hey. Life is not truly all about school, though I do enjoy education a great bit (most days).</p>
<p>Buy a 6-string acoustic guitar. Play for the fun of it. If you have a mathematical mind, think of notes within a key and chord progressions mathematically. But the most important attribute is this: you get to make music. And when you are feeling overwhelmed with school, pressure from your family, etc… taking an hour of respite with your guitar can ease your mind.</p>
<p>Not to mention, it could come in handy one day when you are wooing a significant other.</p>
