Once an underdog
During schooldays, admittedly there were the smartest students in the class, then the “not so smart” and those who are “struggling.” Does this mean that they are not really smart and they have no future at all? Does the smartest among them all will most likely to succeed? Says who? Being the smartest in class doesn’t guarantee that you will be the most successful among you. It all depends on your determination in pursuing your dreams.
Being the top student might mean that you are only enthusiastic in your academic life and it stops there. Those who are struggling may have not shown interest in their academics for they lack interest. But after schooling, they have the greatest ambition in life which was ignited by their interest over that thing. Although they have not been the top students in class, they are more likely to succeed because of their burning desire for that goal. This desire for a goal gets them motivated and determined to reach it. They will find ways on how to reach that goal and they are the ones who doesn’t quit easily.
Each one of us has our own place under the sun. If you’re place isn’t in school, then it is outside and you just have to find it. We may not excel in a certain field but surely we have a place in another. If we were an underdog in school, it doesn’t mean that we will be an underdog for the rest of our lives. We just have to pursue our goals and staying motivated helps us to succeed on it.
