as a student...

I agree with you. Reality lies far away from our thoughts when we are in our student age. I too crossed my school age with a bit of financial problems. But yes, in no way am I making my mother embarrassed . I think and purely feel she did more than enough for her children. Moreover I am also childish in my attitude, due to which I suffered in my upcoming standards. I could not do much with it. Apart from this I accepted to live with this fact,as my badminton coach said," nature and signature should not be changed". To be optimistic on the other hand, I am thankful to find some really adjusting and true friends.

When I was very young, like around six years old, i always wanted to be like a high school or university people looking at movies of how fabulous their life is wth prom and cheer leading and talks by the locker... But now that I have reach that level of education... I totally regret it. Student life is definitely not as easy as it looks. My worst student nightmare would be datelines...tight datelines. They are dreadful because in order to overcome these dreadful deadline, I have to give up my entertainment time and sleeping time...

When I was still a student, I think my main problem/concern was having the motivation to study especially during the non-exam periods. I was studying overseas and hence had the total freedom that most students wish for. As I no longer had the control from my parents, I was always tempted to spend most of my time having fun and entertaining myself. Good thing I managed to pass all my exams without having to repeat any part of my course! My second problem was finding a reliable and close friend. I think this is just my individual problem because I think most other students have no problems finding their cliques. I struggled for a while trying to find a close friend, but fortunately I managed to find one eventually.
