Ignored Sacrifice


Being a teenager requires a great task.. indeed it's a great task specially if people are expecting so much to you. This is my life a great and a real sacrifice.

I am a new student in a very prestigious school.... My parents are expecting me to get a high grade despite of the fact that I am still a beginner on that prestigious school. yeah, I survived on the first round but on the second round I wasn't thinking of the fact that I got low grades on my score but i still pray and trust my Lord so, on that day, I was very excited and was very happy I am consistent on my grades and I am still a part of the honor roll.

I went home very happy at least My mom and dad will be happy for me.. But what strikes most is that they didn't even appreciate my effort in studying late at night just to maintain my rank. and yet they are saying that I am not doing my best... Why? What's the best for them? Do they want me not to sleep??? IN order to study very well but when I'll go to school I will sleep.. THat made me think of the saying "burn your midnight candle" do we really need to do it? Why can't we just review our notes without exceeding midnight and have an eight hours rest so that we will be healthy and we will also be active in participating during the teacher's discussion.

Yes, perfectionist as we are.... We are only minding the mistakes of others but not their achievements.... but not their sacrifices... we are not showing to the people that we are happy even if its just a little sacrifice.... What hurts most???? Is the reality that even if you just mis pronounced the words they will put it in their mind and remind it again and again but they will not remember your SACRIFICES....

That's LIfe and we need to accept it that even our idols are like that they laugh at one's mistake...
