The word potential has always perturbed me. It follows me everywhere I go. My whole life, everyone has said that I have "potential." What they're saying is that it is possible that one day I will be good. In a nutshell: You're not good, but maybe one day you will be. Is this a compliment? Should I be glad that I have potential?
Occasionally my teachers will mention someone and say, "She had potential to be so good. But..." But apparently he or she didn't live up to his or her potential? Am I going to be like them and not fully bloom into what my "potential" truly is?
