Reflection
Recently had "vipsnoy" with my old classmates from public school, and it hit me—how often I'm reduced to a checklist of achievements:
- IELTS 8.0
- Local University Admit without exam
- Presidential school guy
- Going to turkey
Mostly among the friend circles I am part of, and enjoy, these are absolutely nothing. So, we can literally have deep/genuine conversations, make jokes and have fun. It is usually because we enjoy each other's company, not because someone has done something incredible. I do admit(say smth in comment s if u r reading) I love talking to "cool" people, mostly admission guys. But it is not because they did something, it is the impact that thing had on them that I am interested.
During the event, It felt like i was super star or something. I wish they knew i am not as cool as they think think I am. These achievements don’t capture who I really am or what I value most.
Because honestly, I’m just me —a little messy, a little unsure,trying to figure it out, and I’d rather be known for that than for a bunch of titles that only scratch the surface.
