HOW DO OTHERS PERCEIVE ME?

"You sure like to give it all you have got." That's the comment I got when ii first cross the bothers of the States. Now no one wants to look at me in the eye. Every one seems to have forgotten who gave that power moving speech at convocation. Or who was the best candidate in the elections. Its hard to have fame and lose it i thought. But what did I really have? Was it a line up of people buffering my ego? I am now going through hardship and i fail at even one of the tests. The biggest question: How do others perceive me? There are so many uncertainties but this my greatest fear......
