EXPECTATIONS OF ME
Once I was 7 yrs old and was already aware of my surroundings and expectations of me were already crystal clear. I, as stupid as I am, tried best and their expectations went higher. High marks were very important to me, even 1 mistake in tests and exams made me cringe and blamed myself, I reacted that way because every time I have at least one mistake on my papers they will always ask why I made such mistake because it’s very simple, I perceive it as something that made them disappointed. Since then, every time I make mistakes on my paper, even if it's just one mistake, I will be sad and even cry about it and then proceed to hide the paper or any action that will help me to hide my paper be it by burning it or by throwing it away.
Now, mistakes still makes me sad but it is not something that will discourage me to do good, though it is still cringe-worthy to have low marks. On the course of my ongoing life, I realized that though we are measured by our grades, it will never define who we are and what we can possibly do. In connection to the song “7 yrs”, since the beginning of time, we are already expected to do something and expectations of us will continue and it will be our decision to either be defined by it or not. We’ll also have our own expectations and what we want to happen in the future. Of course we want to be the happiest man/woman and that is by following what we love to do and to be with the person who will complete your life, the person who will accept you no matter what, the person whom you truly love. Some people also choose different paths like becoming priests/brothers/sisters/nuns because they see that person in God.
