BEYOND GEADES: THE DRAWBACKS OF ACADEMIC VALIDATION

Who am I? Over the course of my life, I have always asked myself this question, and I
am always left with tangled strings that make up who I am. In academics, in the pursuit of
constantly performing well, there lies a persistent need to seek approval and recognition:
academic validation. In fortunate times, this drives us to stay motivated; however, it also has
numerous detrimental effects on our overall well-being.

Identity is a crucial part of human existence; having to be recognized as an individual


entails the unique things we possess. But what if we had tied our worth and identity to
academic success? Instances such as failing to receive the marks we aimed for could
sometimes contribute to the feeling of being lost and barely knowing who we are.

Growing up as someone whom people had always thought of succeeding, failing


often leads me to question my whole being and the foundation I have built over the years.
Despite reassuring myself time after time that I will be back on track, the fear still lingers
vividly.

Furthermore, behind every score attained are countless sleepless nights that are
spent diving into the wonders of education. Having our hard work recognized and applauded
is something we are all eager to experience. But unfortunately, at certain times, things tend
to go otherwise, leading to overworked and tired bodies.

In conclusion, being validated academically fuels us to keep going, but amidst this
motivation, we shall not forget how this touches aspects of our lives where its disconcerting
effects are evident. And so, ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you a question. Who are you?
