Tomorrow I Will Tell Everything
Publisher: Atlas Contact
How I lied my way through university
On performance pressure among students
‘How is university going?’
‘Oh it’s going great, I just have one more exam.’ It started as a small lie, and turned out to be the start of a big suffocating web of deceit. Out of fear of disappointing the people around him, Job van Ballegoijen de Jong lied for seven years about every passed test and exam. When everyone thought he was almost graduating, he barely had a credit to his name.
In this book he writes openheartedly about his life as a ‘pretendstudent’. He tells about his fear of failure, how he promised himself every day to do things differently and the all-consuming shame. He addresses an ever growing problem in our performance society. Why do we feel so much pressure? Tomorrow I Will Tell Everything is an honest book about the sense and nonsense of lying, about trial and error, and about how everyone deserves a second (or third) chance.
