I only missed the midterm by 6 points, and failed to get into that good high school with a 70% book rate, and ended up in a poor class in a school with a 20% book rate. Repeating and borrowing didn't work, and I felt especially helpless.
All of my classmates around me got into the high school of their choice, and I was the only one who fell through the cracks. The school atmosphere and faculty simply couldn't compare, the gap was too great.
I'm constantly on my phone, reading novels, or sleeping during class (including the utterly desperate me right now), and the fact that so many of them seem to be casually studying for their exams makes it even harder.
Physics classes are always about irrelevant content, and history classes are maddeningly inefficient, wasting half an hour on nonsense and leaving only a few minutes for serious lessons.
In the past eight months, I have heard too many words of discouragement, such as "you work so hard and still can not get into" "ordinary class are studying liberal arts or go to the arts, your class at most one or two can go to the first book" "do not compare with the good class, the IQ is not the same! ""High school is not something you can go to just because you want to" and so on, these words are like needles in the heart.
Isn't it said that the meaning of hard work is to fill life with favorite people and things? But my childhood was dark: I was bullied by classmates and targeted by teachers in elementary school, lived in a factory district with few people, and was forced to take dance lessons I didn't like for three years.
13 years of my life has been a nightmare, middle school was better and now I'm back to my old self, and I still don't go to the same high school as my favorite person.
I couldn't catch up with my favorite person, I couldn't get into my dream school, and the fallout was so great that I couldn't catch my breath.
For 8 months I didn't study at all, my dream of studying art went out the window, and I even thought about committing suicide - thinking that I couldn't catch up with my classmates who did well in the exams no matter how hard I tried. Forced to live in school, the school is far away, the poor class is on the 5th floor, and I'm tired of climbing the stairs every day, so why did it turn out this way?
Really desperate.
Hello!
Didn't get into the ideal high school, felt life is dark, failed to follow the dream, forced to live in the school also live in the fifth floor, other people easily get in, but I'm so difficult, even the memories are gray - elementary school was bullied, the teacher is unfair, live in the remote factories, learn three years of nasty dance.
Now that I face sarcasm and suppression every day, I always feel that I can't compare myself to my classmates who went to a good high school even if I try harder.
Okay, kid, I understand how you feel. We're all just as heavy. But first, take a deep breath, relax, and let's see if there's any way we can turn this around together?
1. The lower the trough, the more you have to see your own advantages. You are only 6 points short of the list, which means that the bottom is good, in the current school may be considered a top student. There is a saying that "it is better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix" - if you are stuck in a good high school, you may be at the bottom of the blow to self-confidence. Now at this school, if you pull yourself together and work hard, you can probably come out on top and enjoy a great high school life. The school has a 20% first book rate, you are very hopeful of rushing in, why not cheer up instead of being frustrated?
2. There will always be setbacks in life, and attitude determines the future. You are still young, you may not have experienced, but no one has a smooth ride. Some people are devastated, and some people take setbacks as trials and tribulations, and the results are very different.
3. Life is divided into phases, and the midterm is over, so it's time to embark on a new journey in high school. Do you really think that other people got in without trying? The meaning of hard work is to win the favorite life through struggle. High school and middle school knowledge is different, this is a new beginning, three years later the result depends on your actions now, do not indulge in the past!
4. Don't let one test define you at the beginning of your life. The road is still long and the possibilities are endless. No one told you that failing a test doesn't mean you can't do it. You're fine, you can start over. Life is trial and error in the growth, expand tolerance, step by step to achieve self.
Child, the trough creates the peak. Sword sharpness comes from sharpening, plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold. Think of the setbacks as training! The future is limitless, from now on set goals, make plans, manage time, learn efficient methods, go for it!
I hope these suggestions help, and thank you for asking!
