And the power of peer pressure that I never realized.

In almost all my blog posts here at Medium, I always have a story about how I was failing and eventually self-reflecting and finding what I truly need to do.

This self-reflection time that I had was huge. It absolutely changed my life despite it happening within two months ago.

I made self-reflecting something that I do all the time.

It helps a lot with writing as I generate more ideas of the pathways to both failure and success, but I do it primarily to see who I really am and want to become.

One thing that I’m always self-reflecting on is school. Why I don’t want to go to school and why I hate it so much.

I was thinking about why I left physical high school to complete it online.

On the outside, I gave different responses to different groups of people.

To most people, my response was always, “I already graduated, I’m just waiting to go to university.”

That was a half-truth.

I didn’t really graduate yet as I had two more courses that I had to complete online and I wasn’t really waiting to go to university.
