Sometimes i have no confidence because the education type in china maybe is let students usually tend to be one type, so i really feel like unacknowledged in some subjects because i’m not the girls or the students just allowed the rules, I usually ask why, why you let me do this, what’s the meaning of the life but actaully i think the teacher didn’t like the way I act because I am a student, and maybe in their mind students just should listen what they said. Although my grade is good, sometimes i feel unreal because i didn’t allowed the rules but i still get the good grade.
