<p>In terms of me just staying motivated and keeping among the top</p>
<p>You can call it a form of vendetta, vengeance, etc. but I finally figured out why.</p>
<p>I'm born with the perfectionist/competitive/winning mentality.</p>
<p>I've gotten into arguments with people now over being an overachiever, striving hard to earn the highest grade, even getting angry for only getting a 99 on a test.(Yes it's crazy, I'll admit).</p>
<p>And while certainly it's not always the most positive thing, it has made me strive higher.
I work harder now than I ever did before. </p>
<p>What has made you guys succeed?</p>
