<p>Well, for me, I guess it’s the thought that if I DON’T do well and get into a prestigious college, all my efforts in the past, not to mention my current dreams and aspirations will be crushed. Also, in such a school I am in now, where competition is a major part of our culture, if I don’t give it my all and showcase my talents, there’s really no point in me going there.
To put it in a nutshell, I guess it’s my fear of failure and my pride. haha.</p>
