So I go to a public school where sports are generally taken more seriously over academics and whenever somebody gets a better grade, they are called a try-hard. I seem to get called this a lot because I give very elaborate presentations. I really don't like the term try-hard. I get that they might be upset that I received a better grade, but it still makes me a giant squid of anger when I am accused of being a try-hard.
I value academics. I'm not going to pretend that I don't. I like school and I like learning new things. I do like to call myself nerdy. But when I get called a try-hard in a negative light, it kind of brings my hopes down. There is a lot of potential in my generation. We have the technology to improve so many things. But if somebody is going to put down the people that are willing to work hard to improve things, it just makes me lose hope for humanity. Yeah, I know my thoughts are very drastic, but still you never know.
