My cousins told me that the 'A' Levels were the hardest hurdle to cross, and after that, university life will be much more relaxed. It doesn't seem so over here at SMU. Life here is enjoyable, but I can't ignore the the competition that I eventually have to put up with.
It's daunting to know that, so what if you've done decently well for the 'A' Levels? You've worked hard for that and now you're at ground zero again. And when everyone is striving to do better than the rest, well, the same amount of effort you put in might not yield results that are just as desirable. I've got to aim to get the best that I can, and in light of this competition, it seemingly shouldn't be less than... perfection.
It ain't that different in dance too. I've prided myself in being a fast learner and a better-than-average dancer. But in Eurhythmix & Caderas I can feel a little inferior or self-conscious at times, seeing that there are people who are way better.
You thought you were good until you came here.
