<p>I have to read The Overachievers by Alexandra Robbins for my AP English class, and I was wondering...</p>
<p>Does anybody see themselves as being as ridiculously stressed in HS as these kids were??? </p>
<p>the first chapter: Alexandra</a> Robbins</p>
<p>I loved reading the Overachievers. I think I read it 3, maybe 4 times before high school even started.</p>
<p>Because I read it before high school, I knew I didn’t want to be like those kids. I knew I would end up at a great school, regardless of my stress levels.</p>
<p>It’s a great read, I highly recommend it.</p>
<p>I found Taylor’s story interesting.</p>
<p>I find myself relating to CC’s story because there are points where I can if I get an A, and times where I care if I get an A+.</p>
<p>i have a friend who goes to walt whitman and he says that the author depicts the school with around 15% accuracy haha</p>
<p>Who is the stealth overachiever?</p>
<p>I read the book before it was assigned…</p>
<p>I’d actually never heard about it until my teacher gave us the options list for our second book. The first is ‘the Things They Carried’.</p>
<p>From reading only the first chapter or so of ‘the Overachievers’, I think I’m definitely going to be like CJ, maybe even Julie.</p>
<p>This book makes me a little more nervous about applying to college haha</p>
<p>^ I meant CJ not CC :P</p>
<p>This is what CC does to you… jk! :P</p>
