When did I become just another number? When did test scores and class ranking start to define who I am?

I was in battle with my mind during all of my final exams. Sometimes, with a song that just wouldn’t get out of my head as I tried to focus on the VERY important task at hand. Other times, it was trying to stop the intrusive thoughts that screamed horrible things in my head. During my math final, I couldn’t figure out something very simple and my brain decided to remind me that these are the grades colleges look at. I started panicking about not getting into any college at all, which caused me to have to take a break to prevent myself from crying. Which caused me to have less time to finished the test. Which made me panic more.

Finals week has pushed me to the absolute limit. I am not a test score, and from now on I’m not going to treat myself like one. ♦
