Yesterday my mom told me that she bummed into one of her old friends. Let's call her BR. So apparently me, my mom and my brothers used to stay at BR's place. Back when my father kicked us out from our house.
Times were hard back then. We practically moved a lot because we had no where to live. And my mom had to work like 12 hours a day just to earn money for our school pocket money. I was in primary 4 then and my elder brother was just starting his first year in poly. So yeah, we moved a lot and we were practically broke. So finally we got a place to settle which is BR's place.
And you have no idea how much I hated staying there. To be honest, back then I was a slacker. In school, I am what people call 'slow'. I hated studying. I was lazy. One time, I even lied to my mother saying that I went to school, but I went to the theme park instead. Yes, I was that hardcore. Not that I am proud of myself.
But yeah, for some reason BR hated me and always treated me bad. She favored my younger brother more than me. I was always ganged up by them - she, her son and even my younger brother(sometimes). Sometimes, they won't let me eat until my mom came back from work. My brother got to watch tv while all i get to do was sit in the room all day and stare into space. They wouldn't even let me to go out after the whole theme park incident. Of course they always act nice to my mother.
They always discriminate me and treated me like shit. She even called me stupid and slow because according to her, her son was a fucking genius - he was in the EM1 stream. I was in EM2. Even till today, she have never asked about me. Whenever she met my mom, she always ask about my brother's wellbeing, never me. Not that I care.
But it's people like these that makes me who I am today. She discriminated and called me stupid, now look where I am. She thought her son was a fucking genius, turns out, he mixed and was influenced with the bad kids. I now stand taller than her son - education wise.
This is why I'm not giving up. I'm here to show people what I'm capable of. I'm gonna rub all of my success on you people's face. People who discriminate and look down on me. How do you like me now, bitch?!
