I was the smart one. I was the top student in my freshman year of high school, which pleased my parents to no end since they valued education. However, the cost to me was high: I had insomnia that whole year, and I realized the price was way too high. I decided to stop making high grades for others and instead make them only for me and only if I wanted them. In my senior year, I was the top student again, and this time, I enjoyed the year much more and had no insomnia. It was a huge breakthrough for me.
