Expectations are poopy.

As a gifted and intelligent guy who has no problem speaking his mind, people have high expectations of me.
High school should be no problem for me, and I should have scholarship offers coming out of my ass. I mean, at 5 years old my IQ was higher than that of the average adult's.

Life should be easy, yeah?
That's bullshit.

High school is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my life, especially when plagued with anxiety, and depression. I'm missing ~11 credits, last I checked.
Eleven credits. Each class is worth one credit.

There's no way I'm graduating with my class. I should've dropped out by now. Any sane person would've.

But not me. I promised myself, my parents, and my grandparents that I would get my fucking diploma, no matter how long it takes me. But that's not what keeps me in school.

Telling me "you're smart, you can do this." isn't going to motivate me. I've heard it a million times, and it only makes me feel like the world's biggest disappointment. But when people tell me I can't do something,

My freshman biology teacher told me I had no hope of passing her class.
Guess what I did?
I passed. just barely, but I passed.

And I rubbed her stupid fucking face in it.
How dare you tell me I can't do something? That I have no hope? Fuck you. The only person allowed to do that is me.

I fail to meet most expectations.
Unless I'm expected to fail those expectations.
