This would be the way I conduct myself. I don't indulge in things just because everyone is doing it. I like to always guage the consequences of just actions before doing them.
I remember vividly when I was young. I always felt like I was smarter than my peers. I used to tell myself that I grew up too fast. This is so because I knew there were some things I wasn't supposed to do.
In junior school, when there was no teacher in class, the rest of my classmates would be playing but I rarely joined them. In those moments, I always thought it better to read and use the time effectively.
Way before that even. I was in primary school. There was someone, a nanny employed to always sweep the classes and prepare everywhere for school activities. I would go on time to join her. The only reason I had to even wait was because she held the key to the school. I would join him and I swept my class and cleaned the desks before everyone arrived. One day, my class teacher announced in the hearing of everybody what I had been doing and encouraged them to emulate me after asking that they clap for me. However, the encomium was never my motivation.
This is what differentiates me from others, the way I thinking and act.
