This text is a little celebration because I managed to go from having negative status for 10-years to very high recognition in just one year.
“Tomorrow, many of us will see each other for the last time. Everyone will go their own way, and that's a good thing. They say nothing in life is permanent except change. School is now a closed chapter, and what remains are sweet memories. I want to thank you very much and say goodbye. I wish you all the best.”
“Please write a book with positive affirmations one day.”
“Thank you very much for the compliment. Here's my favorite affirmation. - Uncompromising excellence is a true testament to the indomitability of my spirit.”
Yesterday, I wrote in the group chat and got 33 heart reactions, the first message to do so. A mere year ago, I had zero social skills and now I had finally surpassed everyone in status.
Today, I saw many of my classmates for the very last time. We had a school report ceremony today. School is a closed chapter. Am I sad? No. Do I have regrets? No. Do I fear the future? No. Everything that happened did so for a reason.
This text is me looking back on 11 years of school. It’s not 12 years because I skipped 9th grade.
The best place to start is at the beginning. School wasn’t always fun; in fact, for the first ten years, until the end of 11th grade, it was horrible. In primary school, I got bullied, and years later, I was the bully. That’s no fun and I’m not proud of it. I had a negative status for a very long time. I despised everyone; everyone disliked me. I had a severely damaged personality, and my life was horrible.
At age 13, I was fed up with being a failure. At 15, in December 2022, I started to be social. Plenty of the ice in my soul had melted. Yet, the school still sucked; I had no social skills, and I still had many toxic traits. I believe school is only enjoyable with friends, yet back then, I had none.
In March 2023, at 15 and in 11th grade, I got a crush on a girl. My social skills accelerated because I pressed extra hard. For example, I started to think of compliments for each classmate. I got rejected in June and later on a second time, third, and fourth time, and it hurt for a year until the end of 12th grade, June 2024. Her rejections massively bettered my character, for example, by making me lose my delusional pride and developing empathy.
Jumping back to the beginning of 12th grade, some people slowly started to notice me. After the summer holidays, I could feel people noticing how hardcore I had been living. They sensed my energy after three months without music, sweets, or warm water. I began to gain recognition for various things. For example, my indomitable spirit in gym class and extraordinary humor were noted. People also took note of the questions I asked. I also did dips and pushups during breaks and lessons. My confidence and authenticity were well-regarded, and so was my passionate, fast, and energetic approach to everything I did. Everyone also knew I was among the best students of all time. In 12th grade, I had 12 consecutive 1+ grades. Despite working on projects during the lessons, my teachers and peers considered me the most attentive and brightest student. - Multiple teachers told the younger grades that they found me very interesting. Spreading goodwill, expressing gratitude, and giving compliments also elevated my status; so did making friends and talking to people. Giving my best by creating cute movies and photos also accelerated my status. Slowly, all of these things accumulated, and I can state that I became the highest-status student. I didn’t expect, and it only became apparent at prom. Spreading goodwill, putting in the work, and being myself paid off.
Meanwhile, I didn’t care much about school itself. I knew my vision did not require learning the quadratic equation, so I was indifferent to its lessons. I never did anything for school; I programmed, wrote, meditated, or edited photos. I skipped 9th grade because I wanted to get school done faster. That was one of the best decisions of my life. I hardly studied and only sometimes completed homework. I didn’t care and focused on my stuff. And still, because of my speed, I was seen as the brightest and most attentive student in my school. That’s why I don’t deserve the perfect high school diploma.
In short, school sucked for a decade, and I managed to turn everything around. I managed to transition from negative status to getting abundant recognition among my peers.
Today, at the school report ceremony, that became apparent. A year ago, I looked in my diary and concluded that I must be the sexiest person in my village. Now, many recognized that to be true, and I came closer to being a complete person. During the ceremony, I got many awards, but that’s not all. I managed to be entertaining by getting up when my name was called and buttoning my suit when I came to the front. So, now the ceremony had a humorous element. Buttoning your suit is almost striptease, am I not right? I was also the only person who ran to their mother to give her the flowers I got. I walked with pride. I looked everyone in the eyes. I’m a professional. I thanked my teachers, and I thanked my friends. I dared to express confidence, competence, and gratitude.
I also thanked this girl who broke my heart for a year straight for accelerating my development. I also told her that, ‘In 20 years, I'm a billionaire’—if not a billionaire, then a millionaire. And now that I’ve said it, I must do it because I'm not a liar. Now, I have no option but to become massively successful. I have to. Sometimes in life, you throw dice, and it has to land at six, no matter the laws of the universe.
“If you stay in the group chat, organizing a reunion in 2044 will be easier. Some people, like me, have things to prove, so the reunion is a huge priority. Until then, farewell!” – me in the group chat again
Was school a success for me?
Was not getting the girl I wanted a success? No.
Was massive positive character development success? Yes.
School may have been terrible for 10 out of 11 years, but in the end, I went out not only victoriously but at the very top. Socially, academically, physically, and spiritually, … Thus I conclude,
Uncompromising excellence
is a true testament to the indomitability
of my spirit.
