those who aren't so perfect.

hi guys.

so my home page for my internet is MSN.com and when opened my browser today, i encountered this:


Teen gets perfect score on SAT

congrats.


but lets not forget about the others, like me. sometimes i feel that you need to be "privileged" to get into your dream school. by privilege, i mean rich or money-ed. when your parents have the money, they can provide you with everything you need to get that score. SAT preps, music/dance lessons, summer camps/classes, and other activities that will put flowers on your college app; in addition to actually afford the $50,000 annual tuition. which is kind of unfair.

to get the perfect score, you also need to give up your social life, unless you're naturally a genius, which not all of us are. you need to constantly study, study, and study, and forget everything else. which is a big challenge for a lot of us. i can never sacrifice my "life" and continuously study, just to get the score, which resulted in a not-so-great score on my recent SAT.

for me, SATs not only test my knowledge on the subject, but also how far and how much effort i'm willing to put to get my dream score, the perfect score. it asseses the worth of getting my desired score and how much it means to me. this requires my brain power, mental strength, and emotional fortitude. moreover, i need to give up my social life for a couple of months.

the point: not easy.

regardless, this video proves that it is actually possible to get a perfect score on your SATs. which should awaken our spirits (or not). like the video showed, the girl worked hard. which got her her score.

i just stopped writing and watched the hills, so i kind of lost my mojo for writing about SATs.

SO, i guess today's lesson is simply putting your greattest effort to achieve what you aspire for. (this sounds corny and seems incosistent with my complaint about sacrificing my life for good SAT score, but oh well).


i'll continue watching the hills now.
