Bad Grades = ‘Bleak Future’: The Younger Me Didn’t Know Any Better

The Quint  

I have no idea at what point it all got to me. At the end of each year, friends of my parents would gather around and congratulate my sister on her excellent report card, but looked at me sympathetically. They called me ‘jovial’ to gloss over the fact that I had performed poorly, often poking fun at the fact that I lived in my own world. Every year, I tried to start afresh, but three months into the academic year, my parents would be called to school, where teachers would complain about how I never did my homework. But when people said, “Oh you scored well like your sister,” it would just make me give it all up again.
