And here's to the students who are struggling with their studies; whether its that formula you've been trying to memorize for days or just trying to get out of bed. whether its those notes you've been going through but nothing is helping or just trying to find a good spot to focus. no one, ever goes through the same struggles and pain, some people might have trouble with just remembering the linear equations but some; like me, is struggling the whole subject itself. some might struggle from all the expectations that have been put on and some might struggle to even remember a definition. your struggles makes what you are, your struggles have made where you are today. no matter how small and insignificant other people and sometimes you yourself may see it, but know that without those struggles you will never be who you are today. you are way stronger than you've ever been, you are more than those formulas your cant seem to remember, more than those definitions you cant seem to memorize, you are way more than just those equations, calculations and notes. you are way way more than what meets the eye.
And here's to the students who are struggling; mentally & physically. constantly having mental breakdowns, constantly pulling yourself up and putting a smile even when you are so tired of trying to act like everything is okay when nothing is ever okay. constantly having a battle in your head, trying to think what is good for you and what is not. thinking will you ever be good enough for anyone? thinking about how else can you make your parents proud, what is the future gonna be like, when at this moment you cant even face anything and anyone. looking around and seeing your friends and classmates are at their best and here you are, still struggling to just memorize formulas. still struggling to get those equations in your head. having troubles to sleep from thinking how your efforts will never be enough. struggling to even get up and study, having a very hard to motivate yourself. constantly in an endless battle with yourself, you try so hard to push yourself to the maximum.
They just dont get it, they think its easy for you. they think your struggles are things you shouldnt be worrying about. they think your struggles are made up, they think you just need to push yourself a little harder, a little further, a little quicker. they think your efforts are not enough, they think its easy for you to get out of bed and study. they think you are like them, they think you are just exaggerating. personally for me, i have a hard time pushing myself. the struggles kills me inside, the struggles are draining my energies. God knows how hard i try to fight it, God knows how hard i try to motivate myself. but i am not like you, my way is not your way. our struggles will never be the same, do not tell me my efforts are not enough, do not tell me i dont suffer much, do not, tell me, i am not good enough for this.
And here's to the students who is always thinking that their struggles will never be good enough. no matter how big or small your efforts are, know that it will never go to waste. know that someone somewhere out there acknowledges it, appreciates it. someone somewhere out there, is just waiting for you to reach that top of the leader. one day it WILL be worth, it might be tomorrow, might be next year or maybe 10 years more but it will be worth it someday, and when that day comes, you will feel happy with all the struggles you've faced. you'll look back and be thankful you had people drag you down, you'll be thankful to those who said you will never be good enough, you'll be thankful to those who didnt have faith in you because without them, you will never push yourself hard enough.
No matter what struggles you are going through, know that you are much more than those grades will ever tell you.
