School. A manipulative location where they teach you what they think will help you later in life. I could take all the work that they assign me, do it at home and get twice the amount done without the lectures. Until recently I've had no motivation to do well or to work for good grades. They've always just came naturally without any effort. Due to band and other useless distractions, I've become... well, lazy. Everyday is just another long waste of time where I sit in a class room and learn more in the crosswords im working away at while the teacher talks on and on about math formulas and ways to study more efficiantly. So why am i writing this? Because after all this time, I've finally found my inspiration. One day during U.S History, our teacher decided to give us a looonngg talk about the "future" and how we will all fail in college if we don't change now. During this lecture he brings up children. Now I have always been the motherly type and children are a definate part of my future so naturally this gets my attention. He brings up that even if your not working on these pointless grades for you, work on them for the kids that you will have to support later. Just to let you know, at this moment I felt terrible about all hours on the computer or wasting my mind away on video games where every minute i could have been working for my children to have a better life and more opportunities than I was offered. After everything, I now realize why school is so important. Not because you learn all of this stuff and spend hours reading textbooks, but you meet amazing people and have teachers than will tell you things that you will remember for life. Thats good enough for me.
