You should also relax when appropriate.

 Since the start of the second year of junior high, I've been extremely strict with myself. After every exam, no matter how I did, I always felt it wasn't good enough, that I could do better. I'm actually quite careless, and I often lose points I shouldn't have. Initially, I ranked 29th in the honors class, which was my best result ever in the mid-term exams of the second year. I was very happy because I hadn't studied hard in the first year, and my grades were always near the bottom. But I was also somewhat resentful because I studied like crazy in the second year. I studied while others were taking naps, and I studied during breaks. If I felt sleepy in class, I would prick myself with a needle, all because I wanted to get good grades and make my family proud. In the third year, I studied even harder... My grades were consistently in the top 20, and I even got 12th once, tied with someone else. I was careless during the exam and missed a number on a math problem, causing me to get the whole question wrong and lose 10 points. Otherwise, I would have been in the top 8 of my class, and 195th out of over 2000 students in the entire school. That was my best result, earned through countless hours of hard work. But I still failed because my carelessness prevented me from achieving good results in the high school entrance exam. However, I still successfully entered a top high school. Actually, it's important to relax sometimes and not put too much pressure on yourself. You should believe in yourself and keep going. I believe you can continue to shine in your ideal school. I must work hard to climb into the top class and gradually move to the forefront. I believe in myself.

Finally, thank you all for listening to my story
