【原声视界】Day 10 Labeled The Smart Kid In Class Made School Life Difficult

6231

I’m 13 in the 8th grade. And starting around 4th or 5th grade, when the work started getting harder quote on quote was when I was labeled the smart kid. I guess meaning I was better and faster at finishing work, and, Let’s just say, I hate it.

Number 1, when you're labeled a smart kid you're expected to do the things no one else wants to do. For example, the teacher says, oh, who’s a good reader? oh, who can answer this problem, and nobody wanting to do it, your name is probably gonna get called, and not by teachers, just the students. Oh, Make Jade can do it,  oh, make this person do it! Oh, make that person do it. Oh, this person can do it. Like if I don’t wanna do it, I don’t wanna do it. So don’t make me do it.

Number 2, cheating. Now I’m not no angel or goddess, but I think it’s really annoying when I’m trying to finish my work and someone’s like, Hey, hey, what’s…what’s the answers? What are we doing? Hey, I need to cheat. I need to cheat. Like, dude, chill out. I mean we have a due date. It’s not like you have to finish it right at that second. So, calm down.

Number 3, expectation. Now an expectation as a smart kid is pretty tricky, because you’re expected to learn and know EVERYTHING! For example, just about a week ago, I was working with my partner and we have to do stations, so basically, We want to finish like one station, you move on to the next station. and me and my partner we’re on station 3, one of the boys on station 5 or something, so they were ahead of us. and one of the boys was like, wow, I thought you were smarter than that. Bruh! seriously? what the hell is that supposed to mean? You thought I was smarter than that? What is THAT?  And what makes you think I’m a genius? Ok?

And number 4, born a baby genius. I don’t like it when people think that just because I’m smart I don’t work hard. I just hate it when people like you are smart so you obviously would get a 100 percent. People act like I don’t work hard for things that I don’t try to strive for straight As, like do you know how much  pressure I put on myself? I put more pressure on myself than my parents. Juh, bruh.

So, when you label someone the smart kid, just remember they're trying their hardest too, so, just remember that.
