I am middle class

 

From nursery school, I was not good at studies but I was good at athletics, and that’s what my dream was, that I wanted to be an athlete. But we all know that studying should be your main priority according to the middle-class family and no one talks about your hobbies or what you are good at. If I had that much desire in myself then maybe I have been doing something which I loved the most but unfortunately, I am doing what I don’t want to do. BCom is not my cup of tea (to be honest). There is no family pressure but there was no support too. I have seen things becoming complicated when you know your parents are not going to agree on your dreams and you can’t force them also because you belong to a middle-class family. No matter what your opinion is but people around you (so-called society) their opinions are going to matter like they are going to pay your fees and expenses, but our parents will never understand this.

Let’s talk about what my dream was when I was a kid I used to participate in sports competitions and I won many medals. My classmates, teachers were praising me and I was on cloud nine and I also participated in the zonal level and I got appreciation and medals. What I wanted the most was appreciation which boosts up my energy and that smile on my face when you recognize that yes you got something, not 100% marks but it’s more than that.

When I was in the 8th standard which was my last zonal competition and is held in the government school. I was nervous but my sir said it’s nothing just believe in yourself you are going to rock it. And here goes with our first race and I got a bronze medal and the second and first medal won the government school girls and then comes relay race in which the girl pull the hair of our team girl and then we got the third price but we were happy because we didn’t cheat like them and the teacher around there come to meet me and they appreciated my performance and I was too happy and that was my last zonal competition.

When we have a hunger for doing something and if you love something like dance, singing, etc. then you should go for that. I am regretting and now I can’t do it. I just want don’t stop like me, just go and get what you want it’s your life and do your best what you love don’t let you dreams die.

Yes, I haven’t achieved anything but this is the age where you should know what you really want not like me who did nothing. I am not creating fuss but I feel like I should share this so, you all should run for what you love.
