i wasn’t a good student because when i was at school i didn’t want to study. i always managed to find something else to do but I am clever, and my teacher always said “but why can’t you study hard?”. i had the wrong idea about studying in that i think it is boring so i mostly preferred spending time with friends. Actually i didn’t play a lot of the time / I didn’t play much, for example some people spent time with their boyfriends, or went singing and dancing, but not me. I just like doing something except studying but now i think knowledge and technique is so important because it can improve my ability to make me stronger. I hope it’s not too late.
