So I studied for a couple hours and only like to get A's on my report cards, does that really make me a bad person?
Ever since I was little, I was raised to get good grades. A's were like the average, so it wasn't anything special. B's were OK, but I needed to try harder. C's put me in "Desperate-Mode" to get my grades back up. I stressed out over little quizzes and tests, and even cried when I got my first F in elementary school. I was called an Overachiever many times, but although my peers meant it in a negative way, I found myself proud to be an overachiever.
I liked that I pushed myself to reach goals, and did anything I could to get that A, while others did nothing at all. To them, overachievers tried too hard and wasted their lives studying, rather than getting wasted. Overachievers get higher grades than they are 'supposed' to but aren't always happy with their results.
Call me an overachiever if you'd like, because at the end of the day, a potato is still just a potato. I guess I am an overachiever... And I'm proud to be one. (:
