Of the Aliens from Planet NerdBall
Personally,i dont think im a good student.Academically anyway.Im far from it.Lets picture the planet Earth overrun and dominated by an alien race called "Genius" from planet NerdBalls.They are here to take over the world with their knowledge on everything in the world.Basically,they are the kind of people who are capable of telling you the birthplace of Leonardo Da Vinci,the first painting by Vincent Van Gogh,the number of casualities during the American Civil War,the meaning of E=MC^2,how long it takes for a rocket to travel around Earth,and probably able to calculate the number of seconds you've lived in a matter of seconds.Yeah,they are the "Genius" that lives amongst us,and some of them are always seeking ways to put down the lesser off creatures,the "Not-So-Clever" beings:An Ordinary Human.Therefore,we are forced to retreat onto the moon and set up a settlement there.If you are an astronomy fanatic you've probably figured out the physical distance between Earth and its only satillite,the Moon.Yes,thats how far i am from being a "Good" student.

So do this intruding aliens have the rights to whine about their superiority over others?No.We do.The unlucky ones.We have the right to protest outside Mr Knowledge's palace and go "We want Brains too!".We are the ones who should be begging for a decent pass,and not those aliens praying for a good A.

You talked about how badly things have turned out for you for the Prelims,how the days are getting more and more disappointing yada yada.Seriously,that is such a crock of shit.You ever heard Donald Trump complaining about how much money he has?Or Bill Gates going,"Man,i hate the fact that im rich and that i own the monopolistic Software market."The truth is,they dont.Not that they are satisfied with what they have.After all,one will not strive forward with satisfaction.They just dont whine about it,and they wont call it "Disappointing".My friends and myself,are struggling really hard to get a decent pass really.Something that looks "Nice" on our result slips next March.Maybe not nice,but "Tolerable".But there you are complaining about how you lost to a couple of people in the class,but beat more than 90% of the school.What next?Commit suicide for not getting fullmarks?

An A is an A,there's no question about that.And an E is an E,an O is an O.Those are the kind of results that i am getting.Am i whining?No.Why?Because they are other people who did much worst.Fs here,and Fs there.Can i whine?No.Do i have the right to?Yes,but i chose not to.Because in front of my friends who have lesser fortune than myself,i am not entitled to this "Whining Right" that i actually possess.Quoting from my good friend's blog(Sorry for not asking permission,but i didnt reveal the name.You know who you are.Sorry girl):

"A simple day of 'facing the music' turned out to be a series of trials on patience and character; and on controlling emotions. Everyone was sad. Naturally, who wouldn't feel sad right? Well, I felt sad too. But you couldn't tell if you were in class with me. How can you show that you're sad when the people around you are devastated. It was really difficult, disallowing myself to feel anything simply because others were worse off."

I understand you guys want to be at the top,i understand you want to be number one.I understand the pinch having one mark lesser than your fellow competitor in class,i also understand how desirable it is for you people to dominate the Earth,but it disgusts me sometimes how you can have the face to reveal your "Whining Rights" in front of the less fortunate souls like myself,and many of my friends.Go ahead and dominate Earth.Go ahead and force us onto the Moon,but dont build missiles with your deep profound knowledge and blow up the moon once you are sick of that bright circular thing in the sky at night.Because our last defence is our confidence,and when thats blown,its gone.
