What I Learned
society is quite interesting. especially this thing called "school," also known as the "education system."
having 12 full years of schooling experience under my belt, i find it pretty funny the information that i truly learned at each year of my schooling career.
let's take it from the beginning..
pre-k and kindergarten: i learned that going to school was exciting, and that being "good" in class was the best way to not get sent into a corner for timeout.
elementary school: i learned that i excelled in 2 areas of school: spelling and basketball. i learned the basic facts and concepts for math and science and english.
middle school: i learned that getting to know a whole new group of friends can be scary, but in the end, it's all worth it. i learned that i don't have to study hard to get an A.
high school: i learned that middle school was a joke. i learned that i had to work a little bit harder for an A. i learned that sleep was a commodity. i learned the value of genuine friendship.
college: i learned that all of my hard work in high school was used for one purpose: to get into college. i learned that from here on out, all my hard work will be spent in an attempt to someday land a good job. i learned that self-control and self-discipline are the most important traits in college. i learned that i miss people more than i thought i would. i learned to let God take control of my emotions, my decisions, and my life.
*sigh* this post reminds me of mrs. stephenson's class last year. you know that poster she has on the left side of her room, the one that says "Things I've Learned"? or, well, something to that effect. heh..i must have read through that poster at least twice every day last year.
i heard from someone that in college, every class that i take will be filled with COMPLETELY USELESS INFORMATION. man, and i thought the stuff i learned in high school was completely pointless..great.
wow this entire post was completely random. im trying to think of what my point of writing this was, but i really don't know anymore. well, hope i didn't waste your time. have a splendid day =)
