“I’m criticized, but all your bullets ricochet “, this is a line from the song Titanium by David Guetta. Based on our teachers, the point of view of almost half of the people, including them, is that we don’t deserve to be here, to be in this Special Science Class. They said that there are more intelligent students in the star sections who deserve more to be called as the cream of the crop.

An intelligent person has an open mind. He knows how to accept criticisms. And as a student who belongs in the Special Science Class, we use their criticisms as a determination, a key to prove them all wrong. They shoot us down, but we get up.
Special science students are special that's why we are called "special". But what sets us apart is the curriculum itself. I mean, we are trained to be scientists and mathematicians of the batch. It’s like our final training ground for college thus making us “special”. Being an SSC student is not that easy. Why? Because it requires more effort. We must pay extra time to our studies and extracurricular activities as well. Besides, our teachers expect us to be above the regular students. We are considered and trained to be the best of the best, the cream of the crop so that the moment we enter college, we’re all armored. And eventually after college, we are the ones who are expected to be the leaders. Not just with Math and Science, but also with our government too. We are learning more and we are learning in the hard yet the best way to be a good leader someday. This class brings out the
