She was in the chess team and was finalist a couple of tournaments and then got bored and stopped. Coach still calls her up and begs her to come back because he could smell the trophy, but she's like nah.
Same way she gave up playing the clarinet after 5 years and making first chair in the school orchestra.
Zero ambition. Must be genetic. 😂
or maybe it's that adulation doesn't thrill her, but rather the performance of excellence alone
Yeah, she doesn't respond to praise from most people. Only relatives.
She mostly does whatever interests her until she loses interest and then moves on. She taught herself to read manga in Japanese, for instance. She can't speak fluent Japanese, but she can read signs and packaging and stuff.
