Being a Sophomore in High School puts me on the less experienced end of the
student spectrum. But from as far back as I can remember, so about
kindergarten, I was pushed. I was able to read some before most of my
classmates, therefore my better reading classmates and myself were pulled
aside to read at an even higher level. And I hated it. I barely was able to
read at this ""higher level"" so I felt very out of place. As I went through
elementary school I enjoyed pushing myself, I did battle of the books where
you are asked questions about books and are competing against other elementary
schools, and instead of reading the 2 or 3 books required, I read all of them.
I enjoyed being challenged but I soon grew out of it in middle school, that's
where I met my favorite subject, math. But it wasn't as easy to push myself,
someone has to teach you the next step for the next level. This is true up to
me now, where I think of myself as a good math student but not compared to my
classmates that are even farther ahead of me. But pushing yourself in school
work is no longer good enough. That is what is broken about today's school
system and college admissions. I am expected to be a straight A student, have
a great SAT and ACT score, be a good sports player, play an instrument or 2,
and have some other activity. I want people to know that school itself isn't
stressful, it's that the stuff we have to do combined with school that
stresses us out, just to have a chance to get into college.
