Big Deal

I'm doing what I think I was put on this earth to do. And I'm really grateful to have something that I'm passionate about and that I think is profoundly important.
-Marian Wright Edelmen

when ur in school, ur constantly pushed to do the ur very best. n by this wt they really mean is be better than the rest. then u grow up n u realize that u dont have to be better than any1 else, u juz have to be superior over ur former self. Self impovement, growth, yada..yada..yada..

the prob is, when ur bz growing up, and trying to be d best u can be, some inconsiderate, immature, boastful, i'm-suffering-from-episodic-amnesia ppl can really try to lower ur spirits and hurt ur self esteem and make u question ur significance. n d sad part is, they are way older than u and unfortunately have not acquired a decent level of maturity.

Background: in school, dis certain person and me were fwenz, then at crucial years of schooling v were in different classes. and i do not mean to be boastful, but d situation calls for me to remind dis certain person( or rather his/her mom) as to how things were, i certainly did betta than dis person in school exams (generallly), i was true to myself thru-out school, AND i def. did way betta in SPM. and after that i enrolled in psych and he/she went on to do medicine -BIG DEAL!-
btw, i cud haf done medi with my results, i CHOSE not to...i CHOSE, ..CHOSE...u understand??stuff dis into ur head!

1st blow:
i meet this person's mom. she's verrrryyyy proud of her child ( doin medicine laa= KING/QUEEN of d world!!) n in a conversation she told me,..ohh my second child isnt as motivated as my first, she wans to do sumthin EASY lik wat u doin

2nd blow:
dis person's mom meets my mom, n tells her..."ohh u know laa nowdays children, so lazy to study, my second wan oso lik dat, she wans to do sumthin lik ur daughter laa" (hellloooooo...! )

3rd blow:
mrs.mom meets me again, n asks "u seem very relaxed huh? my child(medi) is so stressed, studying and all, my second child, well she's more like u laa..lik to relax and all."

mrs.mom,
FYI i am not doin psych because i'm lazy to study or i coz tink its easy. im doin it because i LOVE it and i'm INTERESTED AND i c d SIGNIFICANCE and most importantly i'm CUT-OUT for it (redirect to the quote) so shoo-off with ur stupid comments. i do not think ur second child is inferior to ur first in anyway juz cause he/she is more relaxed, n i am DEFINITELY NOT inferior to ur medi-child(get dat straight!) . its juz sad that YOU cant accept a person 4 d person they are, and cant look out of ur cocunut shell.if e1's gonna b a doc, then hu's gonna do other things huh?? any course u choose will be hard/easy depending on how much effort u put into it.it has nuthin to do with a person's intellectual capacity, n no one job is less important than the other. i tink u seriously neeeeeed ~mentality counselling~ i'll check wif my lecturers if thrs sumthin lik dat/ u cud jus be d reason they might open up dat division!

ish!! i will never understand hw ppl can be so pathetic as to feel betta bout themselves by puttin others dwn. the very act of u tryin to put me dwn shows me how much ur intimidated by me.

i'm flattered.

p/s: psych is NOT easy!!!
