I remember those times where I prioritize my fan girl life
than my studies. And all my hard work just went down to drain and when I received my
card, all I did was to cry my heart out and blame myself for not giving my best
and would regret things. But that, happened last year. In short that was in the
past. And now I've moved on.
Now I’m in my last year of high school back last summer I
was planning my schedule the whole school year. I learned my lessons from last
year. I don’t want to repeat it once again. So there I was, made my schedule
that studies first before fan girl life. I can “spazz” every night as long as I
studied my lessons and finished my homework and duties as a learner. I even
made my own passing mark. Instead of 65%, my passing mark was 80% which I
passed (my standards in some subjects) and is happy for myself. Card Day
arrives and there I saw how I performed for the past more or less 3 months. I
was happy for my grades that I even cried for it. All those sleepless nights
understanding and internalizing those lessons and sometimes I would sacrifice
my fan girl activities were all worth it! Also, I made my parents proud which I’m
happy for it.
Now, second quarter starts, I increased my standards once
again since I’m not satisfied with my grades in some subjects. And yes, I’m
pushing my limits. I won’t rest on my laurels for this school year (mind set) This is my last year I need to prove to
myself, my teachers and my parents what I got. What I have in store and make
them proud of me. I’ll show them what’s the product of they have planted in me
and I should NOT put their trust and expectation to waste.
Overall, BALANCE is really important in one’s life
especially you’re in both worlds (fan girl and student). You can’t have them at
the same time. You really need to sacrifice one thing in order to achieve the
other. And balance is one of those
million keys that can lead you to success.
