The Pressures of Being a Student

By Arisa Shimamoto

There are many many pressures of being a student. It should be different depending on a person, and the number of pressures which stdents have also depends on a person. Someitmes, these pressures impede students from having a good school life by too mmuch worrying about them, but on the other hand, they make students work hard to overcome the prssures. Among a lot of pressures, I think the common pressures are to get high grades, keep a relationship, and think about the future.

Effort is necessary to get high grades. If students don’t have high enough grades, they can’t graduate, and their choices decrease. They hagve to study hard every day as much as they can, so that they won’t be such cases. It needs a really strong decision and mind because they know there are a lot more fun things than studying. It’s very difficult to study instead of doing fun things. In addition, their parents expect them to fulfill their potenieal. Most students think about that and they try to live up to their expectations. Sometimes, it could be a big pressure for students.

Students have to care abou tmnay things if they want to keep a relationship. Nobody can spend school life without relying on somebody else. Having friends is important because friends have a big effect. Depending on who my friends are, my life can change, but making friends is difficult for some people. Especially, it may be hard for people who are not talkative. Of course, friends aren’t the same as me and each person has a different personality and opinions. So sometimes, they may argue, but having a relationship with others means including them. Students have to move beyond such situations. Whether students can ge a good relationship or not depends on how they do. That’s why they must have big pressures while they may not realize it.

To think about the future links how students live their life. They have moch possibility and if they keep trying, their possibility can spread more and more. It’s different time when students find what they want to be or what their dream is. If it can be found early, it’s easy to know what to do for that, but some students who can’t find that have to look for what they want to do in themeantime. Sometimes, student don’t have any choice for their future because of parents. Some parents want thtie children to be the same as themselves or grant their dreams which they couldn’t grant. Students like these are charged with their parents’ expectations and pressures. On the other hand, students who have a dream can know what to do, but it will be hard work. They also have parents’ expectations. Parents devote their time, money and everything for their children. So students have to reward such big cooperation.

Consequently, being a student is work. However, nobody can avoid that. In addition, they get a job, it means starting to have more big pressures. Pressures of being a student many be practice for pressures of their future.
