I am writing this blog because my
experiences as a student were not so good. I was not an average student. I was
a sharp one. I used to score very high during my school days. Not at the
topmost position though but one of the top five rank holders always. Those were
difficult days when I had to keep up my rank among the top five. My mom put me
in tuitions for almost every subject. My days involved only studying, attending
the tuitions and completing the homeworks given by the tutors and by the
teachers in school. Now when I remember those days , I feel sorry for myself.
Today I am not in a very high post in my job compared to the days I have wasted
studying so much. There are people who were behind me in academics and now they
are doing well in their jobs. I wish I had not been given so many tuitions and
had spent time living my life. I wish I had watched more movies, enjoyed more
with my friends and read story books. I wish I had spent more time playing
computer games. Today I feel those days are gone. I wish I had given more time
to myself. I wish I had taken care of myself more during those days . I had to
score high. So, was always studying. I wish I would not been a good student.
Then the expectations of my parents and tuition teachers would not have been
sky high. I used to study more and talk very less to people. Now I feel very
sad for myself as I cannot talk to people in a group. I wish I would not have
been good in Maths. Then I would have have wasted my summer vacations solving
about a thousand problems as homework given by my tuition teacher. How I wish I
could have not listened too them and enjoyed my life. That would have made my
life easy. Today I am not happy with my life. I do not enjoy watching movies as
I have lost interest in them since I did not watch them in my student days.
How I wish I was an Arts student instead of becoming an Engineer and working in
IT now. How I wish there would have been more scope for Arts students in our
country. Because I was good in Maths I was asked to do engineering. How I wish
I could talk more, write more and become a writer instead. How I wish people
had no expectations from me and I would have lived my life peacefully.
Henceforth, I request parents and teachers not to force their students to study
more and not do what they want to. Let them be creative instead. I request
parents to let their children become what they want to become.
