One of my biggest pet peeves in life, is when people throw away opportunities that so many less fortunate people can only dream about, without so much as a second thought.
Education is everything in life, and I feel like so many people in school don't appreciate that, or even realize that. Whenever I see a student being ungrateful or rude or disrespectful, my mind always flashes to underprivileged children in third world countries, who don't have a right to education like we do here in England. I know for a fact that thousands if not millions of children would give anything to have a place in a school, because they know it can take them places. The sky's the limit.
I probably don't appreciate school as much as I should. Of course, there are lessons I dislike and wish I didn't have to do, but I don't make a nuisance of myself for staff just because there are other things I would rather do, like so many kids in my lessons do.
I want to do well in school, I want to try my hardest and see where it gets me. My aim in life is to enjoy a stable job with a happy family surrounding me. I still don't really know what I want to do for a living, but I only recently turned 15. It's not something I really have to worry about just yet. But I definitely want to get my A Levels and then hopefully move onto a good university, and I just wish more people would set themselves goals in life, and work towards them, rather than wasting their time (and other peoples) in school, not putting any effort in.
I think something really needs to be done about the people who don't try at school. It really gets on my nerves how, on a day to day basis, these people would rather play fight and throw objects at each other than buckle down and try. Call me a goodie two shoes, but the reason we go to school is to get an education, in order to get the job we want, and effectively the life we want later on.
Yes, I do switch off in lessons sometimes, and day dream or laugh with my friends, but I know when to stop, unlike some of the boys in my year, who never seem to understand the word 'stop'. Maybe these little rascals should be shipped of to Africa in exchange for some genuinely grateful children who would otherwise be without education.
Someone once told me 'You get the grades you deserve'. I think this is entirely true.
I don't really know where I was going with this article; it came out as more of a rant, which wasn't supposed to happen. I just felt like updating, so I did :)
