Well, I myself sometimes consider myself a teacher's pet, not because I like the teacher but rather because the teacher LIKES me...
Being a teacher's pet is not that bad, well actually, it's a challenge for you to overcome once you become a teacher's pet. Why?
It is a challenge because:
• You're teacher will always call you once he/she needs help,
• You're teacher will focus his/her attention more unto you,
• You're teacher will give you much works than of your classmates, and lastly,
• You're teacher will always call you during Recitations and he/she will be EXPECTING MORE OF YOU.
But don't worry, in the end... He/She still likes you much than you're classmates, and probably, he/she will pass you and set you as one of the rankers of the class without hesitating why. xD
Tip: "Don't be shy, go out of your Shell, and SHOW EVERYBODY YOUR SKILLS, don't mind those who laugh at you, MIND THOSE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE PROUD OF YOU."
Remember that Knowledge is Power.
