The moment I felt Really Stress

When I was 15, I moved to Jakarta and I went to Chatolic high school there. I lived with my aunt and her two children. The first day of school, I already felt unhappy and worried, because everything was new for me, the environment, the people, the subjects, the schedule, etc. I still remember when I had my first exam there, there was a teacher who told me that I was not capable to study in that school, because I am from a small city and that rumor scattered to my batch. The day when she said like that and I know that rumor already scattered, I felt really sad, stress and felt underestimated by a lot of people, but from that incident suddenly I have strong desired to prove to that teacher and my batch that I am not what that teacher said. So from that day I studied really hard, I sacrificed a lot of my time. When I had family dinner in the restaurant, I brought my book, I learned there. I deleted my social media. I really prioritize my study. But then it was not easy for me, I cried a lot, I failed. I really felt stress at that moment, especially when I prepared my final exam.

Until the day of my final exam, I felt really nervous, scared that I could not pass the test, scared that I could not prove to that teacher that I was capable to study in this school. But my anxiety was gone when it was the report day. Surprisingly and unexpectedly I got the first rank of my class, I could not believe that, It’s really convincing me that what I did really paid all my efforts. I also told the teacher who already underestimated me and put my score in front of her/him and said “I was capable to study in this school” then she/he just speechless. I will slap people who said that I am not capable to do “this” or “that” with my achievement. Then start from that day I felt all my friends and that teacher really treated me differently, they put respect on me since that day.Also when the teacher gave us homework, almost all of my friends asked me about that homework. I felt really happy because now they already see me as a different grace.
