It's Hard to be a Good Student

I can say that school life is the best part of us. It's a phase wherein we can make new friends, learn new things, adapt to different knowledge, experience to fail, achieve success, and most importantly build ourselves to our future careers. It's a stepping stone for us to be able to finish what we've started and to reach our dreamed finish line.

That's why we're doing our very best to be a good students. In that way, we can guarantee that our sacrifices are all worth it until the end. Completing assignments on time, putting maximum effort into doing activities and projects, spending time to study for upcoming quizzes and tests, and improving our weaknesses are some of the qualities of a good learner. However, in my experience, I can say that it's so exhausting to be a **good student.** Why I said so?? **Reason#1—Good students typically wanted to maintain good grades** I believe in the saying that ***"Grades doesn't define you as a person but it defines what kind of student you are."*** Who wouldn't like to have good grades to make yourself and your families proud? Who would like to have failing grades? Getting high grades is an achievement but to get that, we need to study hard and make some sacrifices. To be honest with you, when I was in elementary I'm not serious about my studies. I have failing grades like 75, 76, and 77, I don't usually care about that because I thought that it's just a number... but when I stepped into high school? I realized that I should take my studies seriously because I can use them to enter my dream university and apply for scholarships. See the importance of having a good set of grades?? **Reason#2—Good students often received expectations** Being a good student has cons and one of that is what you called **"Expectations"** When you start to take your studies seriously and you aimed to get good grades? Some people will start to expect something from you. It's like they expect you to get that kind of high grades every time, that you should belong to honors every quarter, or perhaps you should be the one to be on top. I'm very thankful that my parents, friends, and relatives are not that type of people. They said that ***with honors or not as long as I did my best that's enough.*** **Reason#3—Good students prioritize studies rather than anything else** When I said prioritize, what I mean is studies are on the top of their lists. They intend to do their priority works rather than do the least important things. This is the reason why good students can excel in academics. It's a good thing that we prioritize our studies but always remember to enjoy while doing this thing. It's much better if we can take a break sometime after stressing ourselves about learning. Let's manage our time from studying and make space for creating friends and bonding. It's hard to be a good student because you may experience a lot of things. Stress, lack of sleep, too much pressure, etc. We all have reasons why we keep striving and those reasons are what fuels us to continue despite everything.
