Tenth Grade: The Rollercoaster.


Hiii again,

You know that amazing feeling when you publish your blog and you keep refreshing it to see how many page views you get, that’s the exact same feeling I had when I published the first one and yes, I’m writing blog number two.

This time I’m going to pin point some of the things 10th grade did to me or might as well say to many of the 10th graders. Honestly, passing out of tenth leaves you with mixed emotions. You do not know whether you should be excited about it or be depressed about the fact that the fun years are gone.
When the word 10th grade comes to anyone’s mind, the first things that flash would probably be BOARDS, PRESSURE, STREAMS, CGPA. So to all the 9th graders going to 10th, welcome yourself for a rollercoaster ride.

The thing about 10th was, when I entered 10th I wasn’t really thrilled or pressurized. We had only two terms, the first term went by just like that. This does not mean I did not take it seriously; it was just that the first term did not really look that serious at first. The terror came in with the starting of the second term and when I say that I mean it. Those months were the months we were being pressurized; we were tested to the best of our abilities. Those were the months when our parents started putting us under house arrest, taking every form of technology we own ALL BECAUSE WE HAD TO STUDY. We had our mocks and ongoing boards, the pressure kept building, and we kept inviting a lot of taunts, good lucks to actually. Frankly the amount of best of lucks I’ve got this year is nothing compared to what I’ve ever got for doing well on an exam. So you see? They all want us to excel. But our side of the story was different, at least mine. The thing was I wasn’t really ever pressurised in life, so this was my first. And it kept building on me, I had a really bad emotional breakdown, there were a few moments when I did not know what was I actually doing. But when I look back at whatever happened in those few months, it was definitely worth it.

The one question I always faced was, WHATS AM I GOING TO BECOME? Here’s my view on that, the thing is when we were kids, all of us wanted to become a doctor or an engineer and those were the same exact things I wanted to become to, but honestly when you come to an higher level like 10th and you actually have to decide what stream you have to take to pursue your career, trust me,  that’s when you hit your head with a gun, I guess. BECAUSE YOUR NOT SURE ABOUT WHAT YOUR REALLY GOING TO TAKE (at least at one point of time for the ones who are certain.)

So anyways though we all took a lot of taunts from our parents, we’ve had our bad times and the good ones how could anyone forget those? We are officially done with 10th grade in a few days and when I look back, I’m surely going to miss it all.

The only reason why I actually wrote this was because I really wanted to express my point of view. Best of luck to the future 10th graders from my behalf.
