Around mid 2001 to mid 2003, I went on a semi anime hault. I became super studious and didn't do much but study, to be honest. Because my parents studied in Asia and I'm a first generation in America... none of us really knew what to expect in the schools here.
In Asia, you go to school at 7 AM. You get out of class at 5 PM. You go straight to tutoring until 10 PM. Then you stay up till 2 AM doing homework. You sleep. And your day repeats. Tough life. However, everyone in Asia also knows American schools are less rigorous and very laid back. But how "laid back"?
My parents told me that my grades begins to count in Jr. High (7th grade). Being the first child, and according to some studies, I am usually self-motivated to achieve a high standard. So, I stuck my head in the books and studied really hard. I tested myself to make sure I know every answer possible.
As a result, I graduated 3rd in my class for my 8th grade graduation.
Of course, as I worked and studied so much - it became simple for me. I learned tricks to get good grades ( NO CHEATING!!!! ) and I gained a lot more free time. As space eased out, I began to enjoy some american cartoons as I have completely forgotten about anime. (sad, yes?)
