This post might sound like I'm stalking on my senior because I got my inspiration from his blog post. It's just that I have things to say about it. =) My senior was the best student in his year, therefore naturally names like "genius" and so will be given. Lets just say that nobody likes to be labelled. Even it's a compliment.
Turns out, he had quite a bad childhood during primary school. Who would have thought? He seems like those who are always boosted with confidence. Outcast, not much friends, normal academic level. It's just a whole different person than the person he is now.
He kinda had the same story as I do, just that mine wasn't as bad as his. Nor turns out as good as he did. =) I wasn't really the kid that always get surrounded by friends or the one with the best result. I'm kinda stuck halfway in between. I was good in sport but never the best and the one who got any special attention, good in academic but same thing, wasn't good in talking and socializing. Even now, when I talk to my primary school friends, I shrink back to the old shy me. Not to mention, I was pretty low in confidence when I'm in primary school because I was constantly tease by friends that I am fat or something like that.
When I went into secondary school, I started to grow out of my shell and learn to have fun. If I didn't tell any of my current friends of my history, I wonder will they ever tell. However, I'm thankful that I wasn't that popular or something during primary school, or I might end up as a stuck-up and over-confident kid who take things for granted.
Therefore, treat everyone kindly. You'll never know if you have hurt them by accident. And it's never to late to grow out of our own shell and live the way you want to life. People always regret things that they never get to do rather than things they did. Lastly, don't ever treat anyone as an outcast.
