My jealous story and how I overcame

 Hi guys here I am! Today my story is about an incident when I was jealous and how I overcame it. 

My sister and I had given an English Olympiad test and we both got the same score (37/40).

For some reason Anushka got in 17 place for third grade but I got 388 place for second grade . We both got a medal of distinction and certificates. But Anushka also got 7 dollars as prize money. In Rs Anushka got 500. We didn’t know that 500 Rs equal to 7 dollars so my sister said, “I will give you two hundred!” But we realized it was 7 dollars. Also, Anushka changed her mind about giving me money! 

I felt like I did bad, Anushka was way better than me, I didn’t know anything even when we got the same score. I was confused that the judges gave money for the kids’ education. I cried and wondered “why don’t the judges give money to everyone!” I also thought Anushka would buy toys with her money and that was where I got jealous. 

I felt better because my mom said, “no toys!” and Anushka said, “It’s okay I am still proud of you!” I should have felt happy for Anushka, proud of all the other kids and inspired not jealous. 

Lastly, I have four strategies on how to feel positive.

1.       Try laughing to be happy.

2.       Go to the mirror and say, “I got this!”

3.       Write gratitude for what you have every night.

4.       Try thinking of positive thoughts.

I learned that people go on their own pace to learn things and take their time to learn and grow. If you feel jealous try one of the strategies. 

Well, that’s the story for the day!
