Why don't

people take me seriously? I'm constantly overlooked for other people, and I have to wonder why that is.
I have good grades, I get straight A's. But my classmates still look down on me, & tell me that the only reason why I get good grades is because I have all the easy teachers. Did you ever stop to think that maybe I get straight A's because I work hard for them? True, my classes aren't as hard as some of my classmates are. But that doesn't that I don't put a lot of effort into school.

& another thing. I wish so much that my orchestra teacher would like me. But he barely remembers who I am. I just won a state competition, placed 3rd in regionals, & have been playing for 9 years. Yet, my teacher still has trouble remembering my name. I tell him that I'm a good pianist, & he doesn't believe me. Next year, I would like to be pianist for chamber, but I doubt he would let me. And I know it's not because I'm not good enough. I'm not saying that to be cocky, but I know that I could for sure learn the chamber pieces, and play them well.

Why don't people take notice of me? I've been a wallflower my whole life, and it does get quite tiring.
