Acceleration. ; Friday, August 12, 2011
What pops up into your mind when you hear this word? Fast. 2 years only. Extremely smart. Nerds. (omg is this being a bit too honest?) and others.
Well, I got the honor of being one of the 50 people in my school to take a test and be candidates of this acceleration program. If we clear the test, we're in. Hooray? ~_~
Happy.... Kind of. I mean, it
is an honor. Doesn't this mean that you're.... Uh.... quite smart? Yeah. I mean, not trying to toot my own horn here. But I kind of realized all this time that I was capable of maybe more than other guys. I mean, I wasn't downright dumb, I could practically take in the materials they were teaching us quite fast. So when I got the offer, it wasn't much of a surprise, but it didn't really take me much time to say.....
No. Haha.
I mean, tbh, I thought about it a bit..... But acceleration was never part of my plan. If it was in middle school, I think i would've gladly taken the offer. But High School? Dude, this is
the golden age. Lol. This is where we prove ourselves ready to the world, take part in organizations, get active in extracurriculars, try to fit in. Be known. And I sort of somehow already had that image in my mind way before highschool started. I was ready to say no to the offer.
Buuuuut you know how parents are. *sigh*
Of course, parents would push their children to take the program. Naturally, so did my parents. Long story short (and believe me, it was hella long), I got into a huge fight with my parents, I did
NOT want to take the test at all but they were persistent........... Lol what. I've never had a fight that big before. Seriously. It was that bad. So I finally................ tookthetestjusttoendallthefighting ._.
And whaddaya know, I got accepted. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Now it was a matter of whether I would accept it, or not. Ffffuuuuuuuu.
Now this time, I started thinking
really hard. Not just
'no i dun want this i want my highschool life'. But I started thinking seriously. Pros and cons, and all that stuff.................................... I used to be ready set with '
no' as an answer. But come on. Do chances like this really come twice? You know what they say. Grab it before it's too late. I thought. and thought and thought and thought. ..................... It was really tough, seriously. Believe me.
But after I came out with the answer, no. Not now. Not this time. :)
All I can do now is just pray that this choice I made is the best for me, and I hope I can still reach all the goals that I've set before this acceleration program came along. So that I can prove that I'm still worth it, here in Labschool.
がんばって!^^
