Features: In a small middle school in Daegu, she ranked in the school and went on to study at the elite Minjok History High School, graduating early two years later. She was admitted to 10 top U.S. universities, including Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and Cornell. Park Won-ji, the 17-year-old girl who sees the world as a grand stage, shares her secrets of growth and success in this autobiographical literary work! Others thought I could easily and effortlessly achieve good grades, but in reality, I also had difficult periods. In middle school, I was unexpectedly excluded by a small gang; my math scores were the lowest in the class, earning me the title of "a child who can't do math" from my teacher; at Minjok History High School, I also despaired due to my insufficient English skills.
Looking back on my memories, I see only that I, who am not a genius, struggled tirelessly to outcompete geniuses. This is not the ease of someone with exceptional abilities but the desperate effort to overcome them. Here, I share "my own study methods and struggles," a path for ordinary people to survive in a world dominated by geniuses. I hope my story can inspire courage and hope in others!
