Blog Prompt: Confessions of a 10 year old child.
It was just a mere three years ago. I was just 10 years old. However it was an important year. I was in primary 4. My mum kept on emphasising(nagging) that it was an important year (she says it every year). She had just made a trip to 'popular' and had bought a whole pile of assesment books for the first term. It was rough. I had protested, rebelled tried whatever i could do to stop her from buying those books that i dreaded. Deep from my heart, i knew i could not stop her. I was resigned to fate. Why was it so unfair? My friend's parents had just bought him the newst gadget in town. Me? I did not even have a phone! There was a few words to describe me : Stressed, unhappy. I really wanted to gain revenge. Lo and behold, i had a few tricks right under my sleave!
First, I decided to relieve my stress by reading my book in the toilet, somewhere my mother would not find me. It was really a good way to relieve my stress that way! From then on, when i am extremely stressed i would use this trick!
Next, i decided not to give myself so much stress by compying the answers. (However i was found out by my mum, who always had suspicions for me, and she hid the answers the next time.)
For the revenge part, i decided to let my mother worry by coming out of school a litter later.( In the end i got a spanking from my father instead, how unfair!)
Now, i am 13, i realised that these actions were inmature and childish. However, I hope my parents will ease of me, after all i have proven my worth and entered the most pretigious boys school in Singapore,HCI! I also hope that my parents can be more proud of me too. I often see my parents friend, aunty mary, love her child so much even though she is not in a good class in her school. I really hope she is my mum! After all i think that study is not everything. I know that there is more meaning on earth than just studying or good results.
