I used to be an overachiever and then I turned into an average achiever. By overachieving, I mean those people who try to be perfect at things like GPAs, careers, and the like. What happened to enjoying life? Does that 100 on your test really mean anything if you don't remember 100 percent of the stuff later on in life? Isn't learning, helping others, and being happy the most important things in life? I came from the top public school in New York City, and overachievers there sleep for an average of four hours per night and get continuously stressed out. This type of mentality also promotes cheating and lots of competition over things like GPAs that don't really matter in the long run. How is this mentality healthy?
