Living Up with the Expectations

Uhhm... Summer is nearly over and classes are nearly approaching. We are half-finished in buying school supplies and I am already browsing through my previous books to somehow perk up my mind for first lessons. And as I prepare myself for the coming classes, I already hear some of my parents' and my relatives' expectations from me. I am like, "What??? These people expect too much from me, man, don't you know that achieving those is not easy as it seems???" I told them that I am not that sure if I can make it but they say, "Nah, if you could get a high grade kahit na di ka nageseryoso, paano pa kaya kapag nageryoso ka?" Man, I really am going to change my study habits this time.

Well, for those of you who don't have an idea of how I study, well here it goes. I take my studies seriously but not that seriously. I will come to a point that I will like lie low a little because I 'think' that studying much seriously can also be very tiring. And I am the kind of person who is like, papetekpetek. Haha. But if I want to achieve something and I am motivated, well, I can get what I want. Maybe that's why I didn't do my best when I was in my sophomore years because I wasn't that motivated. I really have a hard time describing my study attitude because it is very confusing. A potpourri of different attitudes.

Okay, I'm going to be straight to the point. My parents and relatives expect me to be a gold medalist. The previous one was really sky high, to be one of the top ten pupils of our batch. I thought that was really harsh. But with the current one, maybe it is alright. I just have to change entirely what I was doing before and come up with a good strategy. And do it. Maybe I'm going to be able to to do it. And before I think ahead, I need to care about what I'm going to do now.

Besides to be offered a new cellphone when I fulfilled their expectation is a good motivation. What do you think? Hehe. :)
