Hey guys and gals, I've been on here for nearly an entire year now
. I'm quite an introvert and would love to make some more friends that I can talk to on here . I'm on school holidays at the moment and although I have a lot of awesome pals in real life they are often busy with their own lives and with important GCSES (You take 10 subjects, passing 5 of them is roughly the equivalent of a high school diploma) coming up they can't really come out much (plus there's a good distance between a few of us).
Also, from September they are all going off to colleges and different schools whilst I'm staying in school for another 2 years to do my AS and A levels (Which are equivalent APs as some say).
So yeah, in around 5 weeks I'll hardly see most of my friends again Thus, I'd love to make some more pals on here since I don't really have many people to talk to.
(Besides Felixx-who is awesome! ) .
Inside the spoiler tag are a few quick facts about me, plus an anecdote that I've never shared with anyone before. If you don't want to be reading too much, you can just skip to the anecdote.
So I love hip hop music, this is quite brief.
I love JRPGS and RPGS since they tell awesome stories. I'm playing a game called Tales of Symphonia currently and it's a blast!
My favourite kingdom hearts characters are:
1. Master Xehanort.
2.Xigbar/Braig.
3.Riku.
4.Vanitas.
5.Young Xehanort .
6.Roxas.
.Ansem SOD (KH1 Ansem though)
8.Aqua.
9.Lea/Axel.
10.Isa/Saix.
Oh and I love Hunter x Hunter and One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho. My dream is to work for Square Enix and tell some of the best stories ever through video games I've stayed up for hours practicing mathematics and computer science skills, because I want to do computing at university .
I have a lot of strong views on things but I'm very balanced, if I make a firm viewpoint I'll defend it until I die-unless I get thrown some evidence which I can't deny. I'm quite unsure of many things to, like God and how reality really works.
Now this next story is kind of strange but I've never really told it to anyone so I hope you all take something meaningful out of it .
So when I started secondary school 4 years ago (at the age of 11 I think) I loved to make jokes and me and my friends would always be goofing off! But I felt quite alienated, I ended up in the lower tier for mathematics and the school started giving us tests/examinations. I wasn't used to being tested before.(They weren't important at all, but I was 11, what did I know?) I always did bad in them. Whilst my friends always did really well, they were all in the higher class for maths which made me feel insignificant. I felt like I sucked at everything since I was flunking every test thrown at me.
Eventually I got an F in one math test and I just felt worthless, my older sister had a law degree, my other sister was an incredible linguist, an art scholar and got straight A's throughout school. I was the baby who couldn't do anything right. I couldn't play sports right (I sucked at them all), I couldn't even run a lap without getting out of breath, I couldn't even do simple things like whistle or click my fingers. It may seem like something insignificant, but when you can't perform the simplest of tasks you just feel useless.
So, my father got me a tutor for maths and I did the only thing I knew how-I practiced every day and I ended up getting bumped up to the higher class. I just practiced until I couldn't function anymore, I was sick of being bad at things.
Over the years my mathematics skills have flourished and I'm doing an extra, more difficult maths course which I've been predicted an A in. Something I could have never imagined 4 years ago. My tutor said that I could even get a distinction.
Then there's my rival. My best friend is one of the best mathematicians and gifted people in my school. Everyone looks to him as a genius. My goal is to exceed to him at everything (He's leaving school soon though). I've beaten him a few times before but he's always one upping me lately. I want to show people that I can be just as clever as a gifted person, even if I'm not naturally talented. This is my last shot to surpass him, so I want to make the most of it.
However-I did kind of reach a low point in March where I didn't get the grades I hoped for. He beat me yet again.But I just did the only thing I could do-picked myself up and am trying again.
To some people reading this, you may think 'oh it's just maths who cares'. "Why is your life so dependent on exams and grades?" That's cool if you think that . But to me I think it's a testament to my ambition to be someone instead of settling for just being bad at something. I disliked being bad at mathematics-so I worked day and night until I wasn't so bad anymore. I still to this day, try to work my hardest.
In some ways, I want just want be acknowledged for something good-throughout my childhood I was just the funny one with no real talent. One of my friends is a super talented sports star, my sisters were extremely talented and so were my 1st cousins, whilst one friend has an incredible grasp on science, the other friend is really good at drawing and painting, one is an awesome linguist.
Although I shouldn't compare myself to others, it's difficult not to when you are surrounded by blooming talent.
I just want people to say "Damn-he's a genius! I heard he did this and this before!". Academics is really my only hope for that and I want to show the world what I can do, one step at a time.
Anyhow, I'm glad I got this story off my chest. I hope you can take something away from it.
So yeah! From that anecdote you can draw many things about me based on how you've interpreted it. Just as a way to get to know me .
I hope you guys enjoyed my post and hopefully I can make more friends .
