I have always loved school. Â When I was a little girl I had a ritual, I would watch Martina McBride’s music video for Concrete Angel before school. Â I also have eleven cousins and only two of which are older than me. Â Because of this I’ve always wanted to help people, especially children. Â It’s always been my goal. Â I go to a special school that helps prepare students for a certain career that they are thinking of going into. Â I go for Childhood Education and Human Services, and I LOVE the class. Â My teachers have even told me that I’m the best student out of the whole class, in private of course. Â But thats only because I love what I’m doing, this is what I want to do in the future, so why should I slack off now? Â The only reason I’m talking about this on here is because, for some reason ten minutes before we are allowed to leave everyone makes up and stands by the door. Â I don’t do that of course and my teacher decided to let me leave then, of course she let everyone go like a minute after but as I walked out the door I heard my classmates calling me a teachers pet. Â I HATE that term. Â Of course I asked them not to call me that and they just looked at me and said “What?” Â So of course I repeated myself. Â “Please don’t call me that. Â I don’t like it.” Â And this one girl is just like. Â “Well…” Â With this attitude that completed her sentence of saying that I was one. Â Then this other girl commented. Â “Everyone calls you it.” Â I stopped walking as these two girls stopped walking right as I said. Â “I don’t like it.” Â And I started crying. Â But this story has a somewhat happier ending as the two girls who stopped, looked at me and said. Â “Don’t worry, if they call you it again we will take care of it.” Â Then proceeded to shout at the others down the hall. Â “HEY! Â Don’t call her that anymore!” Â I thought it was going to turn into an argument because everyone was just like. Â “We didn’t call her that!” Â Everyone in my class used to call me an over achiever and I would just brush it off, until one day in drivers ed. Â I had drivers ed with this girl, that we shall call K, and we always sat together cause we were friends. Â But one day, COMPLETELY out of the blue, she turns to me and says. Â “Your such an over achiever, you whine whenever you dont get your way!” Â Ever since then, I’ve hated being called an over achiever and a teachers pet, because it just seems like a bad thing. Â Because, and I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of anyway to make over achiever and teachers pet sound like a compliment. Â I guess I’ll end this little rant here before I end up going on and on about random things that upset me today…

Embrace your flaws. Nothing anyone else can say will matter. Nobody is perfect. Honestly, being an overachiever is something to be proud of. Work towards your goals, and don’t let the envy of others stop you. Remember: gossip, false accusations and harsh words say more about the other person than it does about you. No one can bring you down once you understand that THEY are the ones who are jealous and insecure. Once you do, you can enjoy any attention they give you. Who doesn’t want to feel noticed? When you’ve caught somebody’s attention, when they spend needless time thinking and obsessing about you, you have the power. Remember that. The world can be yours. Bask in the spotlight.
Person upon me is called Daenerys Stomborn. Accident? I don’t think so. It is connected to the whole lore of Song of ice and fire. There’s a guy called Tyrion Lannister. “Let them see that their words can cut you and you’ll never be free of the mockery. If they want to give you a name take it make it your own. Then they can’t hurt you with it anymore.†Wise words. You can start calling yourself a Puppy or Mighty Overachiever 😉 You can also ignore them and act like yourself. It’s important. So make your choice and don’t care about others. You will end up at the top of the ladder.
