If you know me, one word that describes me is "overachiever". Yes, being an overachiever has it's perks, but sometimes I wish I knew what it was like to not be an overachiever.
I admit, I love being able to naturally strive for goals and other things in life. People don't have to nag me to do homework or projects or to get a better grade in a class because I do that all on my own.
I wish I knew what that feeling is like: to get a 95 on a project or test and feel overjoyed. For me the thought goes as followed: what did I do wrong and why is this not higher than a 95?
No, I'm not being selfish, rude, ungrateful or any adjective that you thought of while reading that sentence. For an overachiever, no grade is ever really satisfying because we want more in terms of greatness.
I always have to worry about grades and GPA. This is a never ending struggle. Take a break and "relax" yeah, I wish.
Getting involved? Many would describe me as too involved. Why do I have to get my hands on any position that comes my way? Simple, because each one I get makes me a happier person.
No, relaxing is not an option for me, but I wish that it was. But all in all, I feel that in the end, being an over achiever will make me a better person in the future.
But the thing is, I won't apologize for being me. Being an overachiever is who I am and has built me into the person I am today. It is what makes me special and a successful person.
If anyone else is considered an "overachiever" just know that you're not alone and in the long run better off than those who are not!
So keep on striving for greatness!
