Being a student is learning to live a life of many personalities. A school is an institution designed to prepare a student mind for any form of surprises outside the school. Within the closed walls, you experience life as it is, though it might not be the exact replica of the outside world but it has hard as it gets.
Though the level of resources a student have access to can reduce the pressure to do things that is not really demanded of a student but then it depends on individual perspective. I'm referring to other extracurricular activities apart from academics.
There are some students without the resources to really get the things needed in school, as a result of this, they might want to start up a little business to survive, while there are other students with resources but still want to start there enterprise when they are still in school.
In my own case, I belong to the category of the students who wants to have something of their own before graduating. I mean I have never had to pay my tuition fee myself and I also received allowance throughout my days in school but then, just having to stay still without doing anything of my own will probably bore me to death.
The funny aspect was that, I was never really a fan of any social activities while in school, despite always being in the center of it. I mean, I made a lot of good impressions when it comes displaying my intelligence during lectures, it was my play ground. This kind of gets me the kind attention every students desires, I was never shy to display my knowledge in class or shy away from asking difficult questions.
This got me closer to lecturers and top administrative members of my department. So whenever my department is organising any form of activity, I was always considered as someone who would have something to offer. Here is the funny part, some offer I accept and some I reject but I was never really in the spot light of any social events. I was always play the brain box part, without having to publicly take credit for any of my contributions.
The reason for this is quite simple, I never really wanted to be overwhelmed by the noise, it might sway my attention away from what really matters to me, which was my business. God knows I enjoyed any academic based business, this is my own form of social activity, this is the only part I knew how to make myself visible.
