Somebody is yet to describe me as well-behaved. Somebody is yet to acknowledge the fact that I am a person of exemplary conduct and is worthy to be rewarded.
When I was a child (read: elementary years), I would always look forward to recognition days and expect to be given the Most Well-Behaved award. My heart would sink every time I would be given some other award but not that particular award. That and the Best in Art award---darn, nobody could appreciate my 'artworks'.
Well anyway, tonight (or is this morning already?) I want to rant about the apparent blindness of people to my 'angelic qualities'.
Nobody ever describes me as silent-type, shy, (yes of course) well-behaved, angelic, and all those goody-goody descriptions. I am always classified as one of those students who will always be reprimanded for being talkative and for not listening in class; I am always one of those who managed to do something wrong no matter how much I try to do things right.
But shouldn't effort be counted?
In short, I'm simply not the goody-two-shoes kind of girl. I guess I'm just so good at being bad that I can be one even with no effort on my part. Just by looking at me, people could easily cast me as the evil kontrabida complete with horns and tail. In fact, based on the many photos that I have, I looked better with horns than halos.
But who wants to be a bad girl forever? Who wants to be categorized and stereotyped as a 'bad girl' forever?
I try to be good but I guess, being good is not one of my strongest suit. And in that case, I guess I'll never be awarded as Most Well-behaved. EVER!
