As a child growing up I was very diciplined. It seemed to my family my life was all planned out...in their eyes. But to me nothing was ever clear.
I had a normal childhood as far as I can remember. In junior high things were pretty normal. But then again what was normal. I remember the cracking voice puberty brought and those humiliating ZITS. The changes my body went through and then came all that hair. You know what I'm talking about. God, I felt like I was turning into Sasquatch.
And then came high school....that's when it all came crashing down. My normal life was turned upside down.
So I grew up with 6 aunt's in the house. They were all teachers, counselors or principals. And I never thought that would be the reason for my undoing. I started off great in school. All A's all the time. Yeah, I was kind of a nerd. But hey, I liked school. I was good at it.
Until halfway through my junior year. I came home with the same A honor roll report card. At least I thought I had.
I proudly showed my aunt's my all A's and to my dismay they were not at all happy or proud. Instead of saying "good job" "I'm proud of you" they began interrogating me as to why I had gone from a 97 to a 95 In
English.
Why had I gone from a 98 to a 93 in geometry?
They were truly disturbed by my "so called"drop in grades.
I mean they were STILL A's.
I, on the other hand, was disturbed by the sudden realization of how the rest of my high school years would go.
Under EXTREME pressure to be perfect. To be able to live up to what they expected;rather, demanded of me. Needles to say I turned to drugs to escape the harshness of reality.
Never again did I enjoy school. I fell from Grace...hard.
And then theres jack Jones....who seems to be demanding I become a better wrestler. A greater participant who deserves to be here.
Well jack...I'm NOT prone to pressure anymore. I've learned my lesson.
I've learned in this life you must be pleased with yourself first in order to be happy. In turn you will make those around you happy. I am not a school boy anymore.
In just" simply put" the best at what I do.
So bring it on country bumpkin.
