I’ve done everything I knew I can.

I do the efforts but still get

disappointments in return. I slept so late—3:00 a.m. to be exact. I always read
my books and lessons. Isn’t still enough?
I chose this artwork because it symbolizes pain and sorrow. Just a look
into her eyes; it tells a million story.
The artworks is an image of me. It connotes that this girl named
Nichole Anne Launio is experiencing too much tensions. I knew to myself
that I lack in many aspects. I disappoint my parents because I don’t even
know how to meet their high expectations. That is why, my eagerness to
study is slowly changing. That statement, “I need to study because I know it
will play a big role in my future” but because of them, it turns to, “I want to
study to make my parents be more proud of me”
In my day-to-day, I often asked myself, is this really my role why I’m
living? Is this really how I used to act? To pleased people? What I only
wanted to, is that, no pressure and no judgements. I act this way and
everybody will support me. Not that I’m a demanding person but this is
really what I wanted to be.
What I only what to addressed is that, don’t pressure your children. If
they get a low grades in college, just be with them. Place it in your mind that,
it is the product of their sleepless nights and unending efforts. Don’t expect
to much from them. They may excel back then when they were still in high
school, but I’m telling you, to passed all their subjects now will be a big
blessing for them now.
