S is for School

I open my eyes and feel the dread of waking up. I finally roll out of bed and put my uniform on. I really really don't want to go to school. It's so boring and I don't learn a lot anyway. All you do is sit in a stupid classroom and do pointless work all day long, while your teacher stands at the front of the classroom talking about who knows what. Oh, how I wish I never had to attend school. Just thinking about staying home and laying in the sun all day makes me sad, because I know I can't. I dislike school to an extreme.

30% of all kids that go to school hate it. 15% of kids never get the opportunity to attend school. Even though I have never felt this way about going to school, some kids have, and those who have should feel shame. I don't understand why some one could hate school when there are millions of other children out there dying to go. It just doesn't make sense to me. We take so much for granted as humans and we don't even think about it. I think that the kids that hate school should just drop out and let some one who really wants to go and can learn something from it take their place. So many children will stay at home all day wishing they could go to school and learn anything and everything, while half of us who do get the amazing opportunity to go to school wish we at home doing nothing. It doesn't make any sense and I think something should be done to change this. What do you think should be done?

I hope that I will never feel this way about school and take anything ever again for granted. Just because it isn't your favourite thing to do in the world, you have to understand that there is some one out there killing to be in your spot at that moment and they can't. The next time I see anyone else take something like this for granted I am going to tell them everything I have just told you and I hope you will do the same.

Life Lesson: Don't take things for granted because there is always someone else out there who would kill to be doing what your doing at that moment.

A is For Alone

You’re home alone for the first time. You’re sitting there watching T.V., trying to ignore that one thought that keeps tugging at the back of your mind. What if some ones here? You know you’re over exaggerating, but you can’t help it. You’ve heard about kind of thing before. Your heart starts pounding so fast and hard you feel as though its about to break out of your rib cage. What do I do, you think. A sweat breaks out on your palms. You want desperately to call your parent but are to horrified about what could happen if you dare move, you can’t. Then you hear to front door creak and then start to open bit by bit and you feel like a statue, frozen in time forever. Then relief floods through your body, and in that instant you know everything will be okay. It’s just your parents.

This was what my first time home alone was like when I was ten. Some people quite enjoy being alone, others can’t stand being on their own. I really can’t say that I have an opinion on this because I have never really truly been on my own. The closest I have ever come is being left home alone. If I had to base a decision on what I have experienced so far I would have to say that I have grown quite fond of being alone, because it gives me time to think and I enjoy the piece and quit. What is your opinion on being on your own?

I think being on your own is just something that you have to get used to. I think that living on your own builds character and makes you stronger and so much more independent. Its something, even though I probably will hate it, its something I want to do when I’m old enough. Do you think that you would ever want to do you want to live on your own when your old enough or if you are already past that age do you wish you had done lived on your own for a while?

Life Lesson: Even though you are scared to do something, don’t give up because you may just become something better because of it!
