Whenever we go for a movie or just simply watching a show on the TV, the only people we will remember are the casts and sometimes the director. How about the people behind the scenes? What about the Director of Photography? The scriptwriters? The editors? There are many more, however, they're just being treated as the behind-the-scenes people and nothing more. Same goes for novels, book etc. All people will remember are the authors but not the editor. Without them, will we even have any worthwhile entertainment?

Although I'm not exactly involved in the entertainment business yet, the same thing goes for college situations. My situation might not be as severe as other people around me, but I feel it. The pressure, the loneliness and the feeling of not being acknowledged. To be honest, even if I tried to fight it, it doesn't really work out well. It's like being in a caste but this time in college. You can never change your status. Once an underdog, forever an underdog. Depressing? Yes. But sometimes it will work out well for you.

For instance, I'm always the one reminding people about assignment deadlines, sending them assignment guidelines (only for people who attended the class but unable to take down all the notes) etc. For my course, I have to take a subject that requires us to direct, create and produce a content. Somehow, the position of the director went to me although I don't feel like holding onto the position. Despite all the efforts I put in, some people don't seem to appreciate my efforts. Moreover, they tend to change my efforts into theirs to outshine themselves in front of the lecturer. Sigh. Nothing I can do here. Maybe we should all just learn our mistakes and don't overdo ourselves.

To everyone out there who are underdogs, please know that you're important. Please know that you matter. Please know that no matter what happens, being an underdog isn't the end of the world and maybe one day, maybe, you can change your status for the better. We can always be like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Mahatma Gandhi etc. All these leaders were once a nobody but they became a somebody.

Peace out, enjoy life and live the adventure.
