The impact of my childhood experiences

Thinking back to my young age. I was never a girl that satisfied with a stable and pure environment.
But it might be a bit over-exaggerated, the truth is, I was never been in a peaceful and quiet class.
Not to mention the competitive atmosphere in Chinese schools, it was quite unusual that the school leaders packed pupils with different levels like sardines.
The naughtiest, most noisest ones sat at the back of the classroom, in front of the room were the tops in the school. The good pupils are quiet, leaving precious questioning opportunities to the poor pupils. The formers used it to challenge the authority of the teachers. They provoked and fought physically with the poor adults. The more demanding and strict teachers were, the more he or she suffered physically and mentally.
Serious and rigid teaching doesn't give the students a soul-stirring experience, that was why they never listened. Students who are self-motivated to learn will always learn on their own without the need for persuasion. So do I. Just because I was a good student with good grades, I was a teacher's helper.
You must think I'm on the same page as the serious teachers who thought little kids should all just sit still for 45 minutes and then be quiet. Yet I always love to ask questions and appreciate the quirky ones.
Quite frankly, I like street smart. I would love to be one of the gang boys or girls who are not that good at grades but dress differently. They looked stupid but vibrant when they fought with their dignity with fists and cursing. Even though after graduation they will soon get married and raise their children poorly, secretly slipping into the same track like their parents.
Becoming a good student in the upper class requires being tamed in that 45 minutes. But their knowledge and education seem to lead them to a more permanent rebellion or the opposite.
And resistance to knowledge and education makes poor students quickly surrender to reality when they leave school.
I found myself way too accustomed to those experiences between two opponents. I began to work as a waitress in a local bar, in a way that many people thought was vulgar and not decent.
What if people don't need to be defined? What if we can use our knowledge like obedient students but with critical thinking techniques? That's why I don't judge people whether they are highly educated or work with their own hands for the family.

What if people are hard to define on the occasion that we need to go on living and have to abandon our privileges as a certain class in society? Is your pride or prejudice worth to starve to death?
What is the meaning of your life? A decent job in a Tech company and overworking until you end up in the ICU?

Thank you for your time. I'm not sure I deserve such praise. It's time-consuming to gather the thin lines that I noticed and want to express, but I hope I can continually write.

The impact of my childhood experiences

Thinking back to my young age.

I was never a girl that was satisfied with a stable and pure environment.

But it might be a bit over-exaggerated, tThe truth is, I washave never been in a peaceful and quiet class.

I'm not sure what you mean by the part I removed.

Not to mentioGiven the competitive atmosphere in Chinese schools, it was quite unusual that the school leaders packed pupils with different levels like sardines.

I made a guess about what you meant here. I assume that, because of the competitive atmosphere, it is unusual for school leaders to pack pupils with different levels like sardines.

The naughtiest, most noisiest ones sat at the back of the classroom, inand in the front of the room were the tops in the school.

The good pupils are quiet, leaving precious questioning opportunities to the poor pupils.

The formers used it to challenge the authority of the teachers.

I don't think I understand. I assume that by "formers" you mean "good pupils," but how are they quiet while also challenging the authority of the teachers?

They provoked and fought physically with the poor adults.

The more demanding and strict teachers were, the more the or shey suffered physically and mentally.

Serious and rigid teaching doesn't give the students a soul-stirring experience, that was why they never listened.

Students who are self-motivated to learn will always learn on their own without the need for persuasion.

So do I.

Just bBecause I was a good student with good grades, I was a teacher's helper.

I think "because" is more natural here.

You must think I'm on the same page as the serious teachers who thought little kids should all just sit still for 45 minutes and then be quiet.

I assume that the "be quiet" is for those 45 minutes, not afterward.

Yet I always love to ask questions and appreciate the quirky ones.

Quite frankly, I like street smart.

I would love to be one of the gang boys or girls who are notdon't have that good atof grades but dress differently.

They looked stupid but vibrant when they fought with their dignity with fists and cursing.

Even though after graduation they will soon get married and raise their children poorly, secretly slipping into the same track likeas their parents.

The "slipping" does not seem secretive to me.

Becoming a good student in the upper class requires being tamed in that for those 45 minutes.

"for" is more natural here
"tamed" is not wrong, but the adjective "tame" is better because you're describing the attitude that you set rather than what the teachers made you set
you can also say "that 45 minute period"

But their knowledge and education seem to lead them to a more permanent rebellion or the opposite.

And resistance to knowledge and education makes poor students quickly surrender to reality when they leave school.

Title capitalization

Thinking back to my young age.,

This isn't a complete sentence. However, if you change the period to a comma, it becomes a full sentence with your following phrase.

I was never a girl thatwho was satisfied with a stable and pure environment.

But iIt might be a bit over-exaggerated, but the truth is, I was never been in a peaceful andor quiet (class in school / social class).

From the entirety of your text, I am not sure if you mean school class or social class, so you need to clarify here

Not to mention the competitive atmosphere in Chinese schools,; it was quite unusual that theour school leaders packed pupils with different levels in like sardines.

The naughtiest, most noisiest ones sat at the back of the classroom, while in front of the room were the tops in students of the school.

With the ending -est in adjectives, you don't use "most" because "most" is already implied.

The good pupils awere quiet, leaving the precious questioning opportunities to the poor pupils.

You are describing the past, so change are to were

The formers used ity used this time to challenge the authority of the teachers.

Former means the first-mentioned (and latter would mean latest-mentioned), so I would have taken your sentence to mean the good pupils (your first mention) were challenging the authority, but your next sentence (about fighting) indicates you are talking about the bad students. It would actually be best here to write "The good students used..." or "The bad students used..." depending on your intention, to avoid confusion.

They provoked and fought physically with the poor adults.

The more demanding and strict teachers the were, the more he or she suffered physically and mentally.

Serious and rigid teaching doesn't give the students a soul-stirring experience, that was why they never listened.

Students who are self-motivated to learn will always learn on their own without the need for persuasion.

So do I.

A better-fitting phrase would be, "That was the case for me."

Just because I was a good student with good grades, I was a teacher's helper.

You must think I'm on the same page as the serious teachers who thought little kids should all just sit still for 45 minutes and then be quiet.

Yet I always loved to ask questions and appreciated the quirky ones.

Past tense

Quite frankly, I like street -smarts.

Street-smart is an adjective (he is street-smart), while street-smarts is the noun

I would have loved to behave been one of the gang with the boys or girls who awere not that good atwith grades butand dressed differently.

Past tense

They looked stupid but vibrant when they fought with their dignity with, dignified, with their fists and cursing.

It's easier to read like this

Even though after graduation they willould soon get married and raise their children poorly, secretly slipping into the same track likeas their parents.

Talking about the future from the perspective of the past, "they will" becomes "they would"

Becoming a good student in the upper class requires being tamdisciplined in that 45 minutes.

But their knowledge and education seems to have lead them to the opposite, or a more permanent rebellion or the opposite.

"the opposite" should follow directly after what it was related to (here, "disciplined")

And resistance to knowledge and education makes poor students quickly surrender to reality when they leave school.

I found myself way too accustomed to those experiences between two opponents.

What do you mean here by "opponents"? This word is used in the context of a fight or battle.

I began to work as a waitress in a local bar, in a way thatwhich many people thought was vulgar and inot decent.

What if people don't need to be definlabeled?

Labeled is a good choice of word here. It's used in the context of people making huge assumptions on a person based on one detail about a person. Such as, she's a waitress, so she's a vulgar person.

What if we can use our knowledge like obedient students but with critical thinking techniques?

That's why I don't judge people whether they are highly educated or work with their own hands for the family.

What if people are too hard to define oin the occasion that we need to go on living and have to abandon our privileges as a certain class in society?

Is your pride or prejudice worth to starveing to death?
