How to be Me?

Warning: This instruction manual is not suitable for all students. 

Let me begin by saying that it is tremendously difficult. What a person needs to build this character/personality is focus, unlimited work ethic, and utmost academic devotion, hence the fact that it will not be for everyone. To become who I am, a student in high school, one needs to put all attention on work, work, and work! There seems to be no end. All else, including sleep, becomes secondary.
  First, I am different than others; “unique” is what I would call it. However, this difference seems to put me at an unhappy balance. In order to become me, the first and most important step is to become a workaholic, in an academic kind of way. Even though it seems like an absurd idea, it is necessary for what comes next. I believe that to be successful, in today’s world, one needs to be in a constant state of learning, studying, and being educated. Today’s society, at least in America, does not make that easy for students because this amounts to having no time for anything else but school. Therefore, being a workaholic from the beginning eases a person into the hardships of daily life at a high school. The student comes prepared, armored with brain, pencil, and paper, to battle the ultimate adversary.
The next step in being me is to be consistent and focused. Implementing the new idea of nonstop-work is to be strictly followed everyday. There are NO excuses! This is called consistency; there are no breaks in the daily, rigorous, and monotonous routine. Sometimes, there is no time to even enjoy a bowl of ice-cream. Staying focused is very beneficial and can possibly grant you extra minutes of sleep.
To be me, it is important to understand what my daily routine consists of. For example, this will be a short recount of today, September 25th. I wake up in the morning at 5:45. This a fixed time; a good student never oversleeps. By 6:45 I am in school, and my day officially begins at 6:50 when I walk into my first period class, history. The mercy rule does not apply, even in those early morning hours. I get out my notes and start studying for the ‘possible’ quiz we might have. The rest of the day seems like a systematic brainwashing, but fear not, I do not lose focus. After I get home, I start doing my homework. Thankfully, I've been going to the gym lately, so there is at least one activity that doesn't require thinking too much. I continue my homework for the rest of the day. Dinner, becomes my only other activity in which I don't have to use my brain too much. Hooray! I go to bed at about 11:00 and the process will start over the next day.
In conclusion, it is exhausting and definitely an uninteresting day. However, only a brighter future awaits from putting so much effort into the present. In continuation about being me, the last major step is perfectionism. This doesn't necessarily mean getting absolutely everything correct. I believe that perfectionism is trying your best; it is the stride towards the perfect that counts. This is partially why reading and note taking become the worst homework assignments. They take an eternity to complete for I want to include every detail I can and have perfect notes.
In brevity, becoming a workaholic begins the journey. To progress on the path, consistency needs to be achieved. There is no slacking allowed, period! The final steps, or rather the “finally I'm done”, of the adventure are perfection. After consistently working everyday, a student needs to make sure he or she has produced extraordinary work. So, to all students: have a wonderful high school experience.
