<p>hahah tami, that would've been priceless.</p>
<p>Us Asians, we need some award for being Asian</p>
<p>It's called the "National Minority Leadership Award"...even more worthless than Who's Who...</p>
<p>tanonev: your little sister's voice on the web page is too funny, I bet that's how you got into college</p>
<p>Lol...my admission into Stanford & Caltech is not because of my performance in USACO, my piano, my SATs, OR my volunteering to keep the school running computerwise, BUT RATHER because I found a candid moment of my little sister :D (If only it were that easy...I wish lol)</p>
<p>Uhm, yeah. We don't know what you're talking about. :)</p>
<p>I wish I heard that I was an overacheiver more often...I hear that I am lazy often from many people, I suppose it means I still have room to improve :-)</p>
<p>when people say it to me, it's cuz they worry bout me........ kinda disturbing</p>
<p>The questions I always get is, "Why are you so driven/motivated?" umm...because everyone will get ahead of me if I don't try, because I want to do better in life than YOU"RE doing, because there's nothing better to do?</p>
<p>O.k., get this. My English teacher hands me my grade slip the other day, announces my grade (a 99%), and calls me an over-achiever in front of the whole class. I hate him so much. I'm not saying this just to show-off my percentage, it really ticked me off, he had no right to tell anyone what I got in his class--I earned every bit of it.</p>
<p>Who cares? Yall' act like being called an overachiever is a bad thing! Not being an overachiever is over-rated! If you don't want to be called an overachiever...fail...</p>
<p>What also sucks is that there is so much pressure to do well if people know that you are smart. </p>
<p>Or else they'd say things like "What? (Insert name here) got lower than me? WOW!!"</p>
<p>OMG I totally agree with you sunshine breeze.</p>
<p>I got 8/15 on a math quiz a few days ago. Not good. Everyone was asking what I got, and I told them, and they are all like WOW I BEAT YOU!! HA!</p>
<p>thanks. rub it in.</p>
<p>Then casually mention the past 50 or so quizzes where you left them in the dust...they usually shut up after that...:D</p>
<p>I know what you mean sunshine_breeze. I was considered an overachiever in highschool. It seemed that everyone was waiting for me to fail so they could make a big deal of it.</p>
<p>I can't stand the following:</p>
<p>RandomPerson: Hey, Matt...what did you get on that quiz?
Matt: A pretty good grade.
RandomPerson: Ah, you suck.</p>
<p>...later...</p>
<p>RandomPerson: Hey, Matt...what did you get on the last quiz?
Matt: Eh, I did okay. I forgot to square this number so I missed the problem and the follow-up problem.
RandomPerson: I got a 100! Wow, I beat you? I beat Matt!!! </p>
<p>Ah, how I love it when people rub it in. :)</p>
<p>Ah yeah. One time in middle school. I intentionally didn't study for any of my final exams(they didn't count the teacher said). So I went to the library with friends and of course we played until 12 AM. No studying at all. Also I didn't do any homework or assignments. As a result I got a 75 average. A friend of mine, asked me for my GPA. When I told him I got a 75 he was so happy. He was like haha I finally beat you. Well I think some people just don't have a chance to brag or have someone brag about you instead. So when they get their chance they exploit it. I understand it, but it's still annoying.
To the whole thread: I think everyone's heard that at least once here.</p>
<p>Yeah, lol.....I have the highest grade in my math class, but for this one particular quiz I got the lowest grade in the class...(a 40/60, or 67%)..</p>
<p>everyone was like, "I beat you!!!!"</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>But of course, the four quizzes after that I made up for it with a 100, 100, 106, 98.</p>
<p>So I have a 93.4 acdemically, but it's a 92.2 because there was one homework assignment I didn't turn in. But luckily that's just 4th quarter and I had a 94 3rd quarter so I still have an A, but its borderline so I have to do well on the exam in order to keep the A.</p>
<p>Yea, I hate the phrase "I beat you!" with a passion...</p>
<p>:)</p>
