"The most demanding aspect for me was undoubtedly the pressure that accompanies being a top student, where displaying any hint of vulnerability in the face of adversity is simply not an option. As a top student, the expectation is to have everything perfectly figured out and to be a steadfast pillar of dependability. It entails the readiness to perform at your peak, whether or not you feel entirely prepared. Moreover, there's the responsibility of offering tutorials to your peers, sometimes even when it's not particularly convenient for you. The imperative to prioritize your colleagues, especially during the exam period, can occasionally feel overwhelming."
