Boards are coming up soon. But here I am, stressed. Not for getting less, but for breaking expectations.
"There's no other way, than to get full marks" my English teacher said.
"We're expecting 100s from this [science] batch" my Physics teacher said.
"All of you should get 100 in AI" my AI sir said.
"You should work harder" my English teacher said.
"60 out of 80 is too low, you're not putting your effort" one of my science teachers said.
"Just 66 out of 80 in math? You should get above 76" my family said.
But how much stress is too much stress?
Am I really at fault for not scoring despite hous of reading, days of math practice and weeks of sleepless nights?
"You should get higher than her" my family says.
But am I bad or is my classmate just better?
Why should I get more just before someone else tops? They say it's competitiveness but isn't it just comparision of unlike quantities?
And when I do improve, no one cares. No complements, no congratulations, no anything. Just silence till I score less yet again...
