Progress Reports?
Isn't there more? Isn't there more to life then what we are made to do. What we are made into? We're raised in a state of mind where money is everything, and ultimately that is what we aim to do with our lives. No one ever goes to school for an "education" anymore. No one reads in the free-time anymore. No one is "real". No one thinks ot themselves and figures things out. What am I scared of the most? To see all these people go to college only to do nothing with their lives. The people in Cisco? You really want to know why they are there? (So they can get a six figure salary and live to make money.) Afterall, that's all that matters isn't it?
(I'm smiling because of what I'm about to write) Today was progress reports. I got F's in American Goverment, Spanish AP, and Computer Programming (two classes).
And I don't care.
(A little part of me does care though, but only because I'm being frowned upon by others. They are right, that is a dim reflection of my future, but isn't that unfortunate? Not for me, but the fact that the progress reports reflect my future?)
Think about it? Everyone is scared of getting F's because of either parents, or "their future". "Their future", because the system is so perfect that they got down how well a person will do based on a "letter-grade" standard. There's no more "trust" left in this world, you need credit. You can't get a job without references or an "education".
Am I crazy? Am I the only one who doesn't value a rich and glamorous life? It's true some people no longer value the satisfaction of "hard work". Most people don't know how to "survive". How to make a fire, how not to starve to death, how to make things, to swim, to grow plants, to think realistically.
It's hard to have these beliefs, and yet still live in a household that revolves around "school". Sure I respect what is "trying" to be done, but the school more brainwahses you then actually "teaches".
I have four F's. The world is not over.
(One more thing. I'm tired of hiding.)
Today I had a bad day. Maybe because of the clothes I was wearing. But regardless of that, isn't what I say true?
(I'm tired of hiding. I'm tired of being hidden. I'm tired.)
