Pressure

It doesn’t come to anyone’s surprise to hear that this year has been stressful. With COVID-19, online schools, my mentorship flourishing, and other such things, I get stressed with a lot of school and extracurricular work that I want to work on, or else I will set myself back for success in the future. Difficult moments arise to everyone no matter the occasion, and it’s something that everyone must be capable of surpassing, almost like a test to see if you are ready for the next challenge. The pressure is tough, but is it worth it in the end? I couldn’t answer yet, because the value is yet to be revealed to me. I will only know the value of taking ISM when I’m preparing for my job 10 years down the line. It will definitely take some time, but the end goal is visible. I have seen how others have grown from this course, and how I can too if I am truly diligent and authentic in my work. So I ask myself this plenty of times. And almost all the time I know it will be worth it, and I can deal with the stress, pressure, and strain it leaves on me in return for my future. Even with all the obstacles presented to me today, this is all just a test. A test that I spent years practicing and studying for. A test that I will pass and move on in the future. A test to see if the pressure can get to me. Something that I will not let happen.
