Loved watching & listening to this. Truly mediocre people do not wish to be more than just average. The essence you carry within you, the one that wants you to be better at things than other people, that fire inside of you, it needs to spread. You mentioned hitting plateaus, this happens to every person who wants to be great at something. A plateau can mean many things, but if you want to grow beyond it and evolve, that is when the mediocrity will come to an end. While people may say you're a good student, you still feel mediocre because you know there are others that are doing eons more than you, with half as much the effort. Chase the person you want to become until they become you.
Very understandable, I'm a 21 year old student and I am currently in my last year of college feeling as mediocre as ever. I want do do great things and have aspirations, but have a hard time finding the drive to actually do it. I've never felt real competition in school here in the Netherlands because the students don't compete for scores (never understood American fixation on 'top of the class' and GPA scores to flex). About your school, you should absolutely try to get into your dream school no matter what. You are going to spend multiple years there, so it's important to have a good experience overall. P.S. studies show prodigy children fall of in their teens due to not having to strife for greatness, as they are being told constantly that they are already perfect I believe.
