I'm not sure I want to go in detail the kind of student I was and the kind I am now, not because I was a bad one but because I feel knowing that detail about me is everything about me 😅 One thing is sure, I'm not the student I was when I was little and I'm yet to figure out which was best as they happened in totally different classes and situations with time not on my side.
Like most of the others, I was a student who loved being a student. I remember mum saying, I love anything about school... The preparation from home, the lunch meals, the teachings and answering questions, the writings, the stories told between students. All that and many more made me a very active girl regarding school.
Yeah, I wasn't the kind who cried that I didn't want to go to school... Never the kind 😁
To be more exact, I was a shy but troublesome student.
Growing up as a quiet girl, it affected my social relation in school. I would always be on my desk listening attentively and during breaks, I focus on my meals. It went that way repeatedly and I didn't see anything wrong with it at all. I even got the remark "Very attentive" on my report card from teachers, I was loved for that.
But there were times I act direct opposite of that my shy self, how I interact with my mates when they talk about something I'm very good to talk about or when I'm in the mood to talk, is totally different and sometimes even teachers passing by are surprised by my changing attitude.
That side of me never interferes with my love for staying attentive in classes, maybe even the teachers know that. So in a few words, I was a good student in my primary and secondary. No time to give anyone problem but I was quite troublesome to the ones I know very well.
Now, I am a troublesome student. Still looking for the shyness.
You won't blame me, I spent most of my time growing up being shy and limited myself to a lot of things. That has changed a lot, I can be very loud when I want to and be as calm and peaceful as I want to be as well. The student I am today (graduated though), is a totally different person from who I was.
I studied as much as I could but I didn't give away the chances to explore new experiences while I was at it. So you could say I am the kind of student that is trying her best in everything presented to her. It doesn't mean I try the bad ones though, I'm still the good girl from back then lol.
Living as a student has helped shaped my life in a lot of ways and I am who I am today because of the kind of student I was and I am now. One thing is important to know, I was and I am my own best kind of student hehe.
