As a child, Jeanette Soi was repeatedly made to feel like she wasn't smart enough. In part two of her story, she shares how years of favoritism, public humiliation, and discouraging comments from teachers followed her into high school, shaping how she saw herself and her future. By Form Two, the pressure had become so overwhelming that she began questioning whether life was worth living. But through the unwavering support of her parents, a growing belief in herself, and a purpose bigger than her grades, Jeanette slowly began to rewrite the story she had been told about who she was. This is a powerful story about resilience, self-worth, and why a child's potential can never be measured by exam results. This is part two of Jeanette's story.
