Just a thought. Don't get mad.

I don't understand why some of my friends keep complaining about how busy they are, how stressed they are, how tired they are, as 9th grade students, who are going to face the national examination soon.

Well, don't get it wrong. Me too, to be honest. I'm tired and stressed, too. But I think as long as you enjoy it, it doesn't matter at all. I confess that there's some moments when I enjoyed being a 9th grade student (read: busy student). Go to school early in the morning and go home late in the afternoon. A lot of practice and exercise sheets to do. Carry the big, heavy bag everyday, which is full of books and exercise sheets. Non-stop evaluations and motivations from the teachers.

Wait, I suddenly remembered that yesterday one of my teacher got mad at us (9th graders) because we're always late on flag ceremony every Monday. And we're just like, "Oh, Ma'am, don't you know? We have additional class in the morning and then you expect us to come to school yard to join the ceremony on time? Impossibru!"

...that's one of disadvantages being seniors. You know, stuffs like "Remember, you're a 9th grader now. Be a good role model to your juniors!", "You have to be better than your predecessors!", "You guys are disappointing me, I've expected you to be better than this!", et cetera. Then we get blamed on every little things. But I'm quite accustomed with that because, yes, my parents sometimes do the same thing to me. Sometimes. I'm the eldest daughter in my family and as I told you before, I'm accustomed with those blaming things.

Okay, enough. Back to our topic. I have to confess, sometimes I enjoyed being busy. Because I know, the high school and college life will be harder than now. At least I tried to enjoy every moment, every little things that happen now. Am I afraid? Am I stressed? Yeah, sort of. I'm kinda haunted by the fear that I won't graduate successfully. But hey, let's be optimistic. We still have another time to fix our mistakes, another time to study, another time to ensure yourself that everything is going to be alright!

By the way, just turned 15 on March 13th. I'm older... hey, I'M GETTING OLDER. MUAHAHAHA.

Ehm. Let's go to the point. My point is, don't worry, be happy! But don't underestimate everything. Take it seriously. I mean, concentrate and work hard. Well, note to self, too. I know I'm inconsistent sometimes. Enjoy, and it might doesn't matter.

We entered the school together, we must graduate together, am I right? And be successful together, for sure.

Fight for the upcoming exams.

May the odds be ever in our favor.

Wishing you a lot of luckiness, my beloved friends. I pray for all of you. Don't complain anymore, we share the same suffering (ehehe).

It's 9 PM already, I shall go to the bed. Goodnight.

Love,
K.
