We experience and face different stress in our lives. We can't judge any person because we don't feel what they feel and we don't experience what they experience.
The most stressful event in my life was when my mother wanted me to be a first honor in our class when I was in Grade 6. She always remind me that I must be on top of our class. She always reminds me that I must have a high grade in line of 9.
Without asking me if I can, I can’t really concentrate and focus on my study. Every time I went to school, I always remind myself that I must be on top. I must get high scores on my quizzes and tests according to my mother. It feels like I am not learning that time. I feel like I just go to school to get high grades and be the top our class.
At that age, I lost my appetite. I don’t usually eat and I just want to be in my room alone. I don’t want to go out with my friends. I don’t want to talk to anybody. When we have no classes, I just stay at home and sleep. I only go out in my room at around 3:00 in the afternoon to eat and take a bath. After that, I go to back to my room and sleep until night. Until my graduation came, I ended up to 11th honor in our class.
My mother was so disappointed at me. And I am crying and crying because she don’t know how I feel. She don’t know what I have experience.
But then, I said to myself that I will fulfill the wish of my mother. I started to clean my room, fix my cabinet and all the things in my room just to forget what happened because I said to myself that I will never experience it anymore.
Until the day that I will enter high school life, before our class, I started to read my books. I started to analyze and answer those math problems. I promise to myself that I will be the top 1 in our class. I focused on my studies. Whenever we have quizzes and tests, I always got high scores which I am very happy with and more motivated with it. Our recognition came and I became top 1 in our class.
Hence, I remind myself always that I will never let any stress to destroy my body and mind, and to make my life like miserable.
