i really should stop sulking over my driving license.. but somehow it kept haunting me.

7 years ago, when I was still in secondary school, I showed my dad a nearly straight A progress report from school, and that I've been honored into the dean's list. He slapped me that night, accusing me that I've cheated in school. My heart broke.

7 years later, when I called my mom immediately after passing my driving test, the first thing she replied was asking whether I wore a mini-skirt that day or not.

2 weeks ago, a year 1 friend commented bluntly that I dont have any smart look - since I looked "so carefree" each day, and she seldom sees me hanging around the school library - and was shocked to find out about "double degree", "MBA", "hedge fund internship", and "scholarship".

I dont need the world to recognise my abilities. But I dont need the world to belittle me as well.

Come on, Sandy. Grow up. Grow out of this.

You will be starting anew soon anyway.

Come on! Grow up! Wake up! Move on!
