Amara's head suddenly snapped up. It was as if a switch went off in her head. She felt the blood rushing to her face and all she could hear was a loud roaring in her ears. "Excuse me?! Why don't I put this much effort into all my work?? What the hell!"
She was out of her seat without even remembering getting up, her hands clinched in fists so tight she could feel her nails cutting into her palms but she didn't care. "I have worked that hard for twelve goddamn years and all I ever hear is "why don't you do better?" "why can't you just try harder?" It's never enough is it?! I'm SICK OF IT!! I'm tired of being told by some jackass instructor that I need to do more when I haven't slept right in years and all I need to do is work harder and believe in myself and all that bullshit!! I QUIT!!"
She was so mad she was shaking, and couldn't see straight as she turned on her heels to leave. Her breathing was hard and her face was bright red, but she would not cry. She refused to give anyone that kind of satisfaction.
