I'm an average student (A mix of A's, B's, and C's... and very few failing grades here and there and I try to make up most of them if they're major), but I'm feeling unnecessarily pressured by other students and families.

I have friends who are working hard to become these A-students, and either they're really smart or they just work hard. These people cry over B+'s while I accept it as a passing grade. Sometimes, I think they take things too seriously, but I know that they are truly dedicated... very dedicated. I'm neutral on this.

I admit it: I'm a bipolar-student: sometimes I work hard and I'm focused while other times I get distracted and I even procrastinate. I relax at times because my health is critical during most period of school and I have other hobbies/plans when school is over, from volunteering, tutoring, or watching my favorite YouTuber who relieves my day! ^^

Isn't good grades enough? I do volunteering (Key Club), a passive sport (Archery Club), and a Fine Arts (Orchestra), so I'm not just a person who slaves over work. Why do people nowadays think that if one is an A-student, he or she is literally the Prophet of Education?? I'm the average Joe, smart and not, and I don't like this stereotyping.
