the one with some slack
as a kid, i've always hated adults making presumptions, judgments and comparisons among children. i quit piano in grade one cos at a tender age of seven i could decipher fakeness when i see it. i couldn't take the teacher's sarcasm and disparaging remarks as she constantly pitted me against jane (this other student), telling me and my mom how good jane was and how lovely she looked playing the piano and sorts. yeah, i still remember crapshit like this, weird huh? i remembered detesting the piano teacher and would at times cry in bed thinking i wasn't good enough like jane. isn't it only right to give a kid a pat on the back when she's tried her best even if its not child prodigy material? i think my mom knew how upset i was and didn't create a fuss when i finally gave it up. on hindsight, a silly decision on my part cos i really loved the piano. ah well. we don't always make the right decisions in life.we're not born gifted (unlike some others), we're not born perfect, we're not born with skills but given time, we're able to do many things just like some others so please cut some slack.
grade c people have pride too.
we live and we learn.
