My School Life

I went to 3 different primary schools and 3 different secondary schools during my schooling days. Most of them were due to family reasons. So coping with a new environment every now and then has becoming like a talent to me. Some will feel totally awkward in situations like these but I don't. Well, it was awkward for the first few weeks but the more I interact with my surroundings, the less awkward it became. Being in a new school, you'll have new friends, new teachers, new classroom etc. Of course, it's really hard to accept the fact that you had left some of your friends back at your previous school but all I can do is adapt. It's human nature to adapt to your surroundings and this is not an exception.

I've met some wonderful people throughout the course of my school life. Some I still have contact with. Some even actually went to college with me. Back when I was in 1st grade, I used to be the ace of the class. The center of attention. I was like the perfect prodigal brat ever. Aced all my tests, the class rep, everything. It stayed the same way until I was in 4th grade where I moved to a quite prestigious school in the district. There, I vowed to never see the world in one dimension ever again. I met some of the best prodigies ever. They were totally dedicated in their studies and it made me looked  like I'm super lucky. This one guy, he never failed to amazed me. He never loses his 1st place spot to anyone ever. When I came in, I came in second. He's really something. A that point of my life, I started to realize, no matter what you're good at, there's always someone better. That's why we have competitions, duels, examinations, fights to settle who's the best. You can only be the best if you actually beat the best.

Perhaps it's safe to say that my school life seemed like a cliched setting for a school themed slice of life anime. Most school-themed anime always have this mystery transfer student coming in. These characters are always the main characters. So in a way, I see myself as a main character of some sort of slice of life anime. I can also be the main character for a Persona game series.
