The Final Countdown
It WAS Junior Year, back when I had long hair
Even after asking other seniors, I was still scared
With no new friends, would I make any?
Would anyone even want to be my study buddy?
I found that I had stronger opinions that I knew how to express
TOK helped me realize this
I found that I liked learning about the body
Biology helped me realize I want to be a nurse
I found that books can be as eye opening as an ethical movie
English helped me realize this
I found that music is a lot more than an expression
Chorus helped me realize this
I found that I don't have to be the best to try my best
Church helped me realize this
I found that I still hate history
History helped me realize this (duh)
I found that I cannot physically fall asleep in class
Late nights taught me this
I found that I only sometimes enjoy solving equations
Math taught me this
I found that the environment of the classroom affects how teachers make expectations for themselves
Parenting and Child Development helped me realize this
I found that some people never change
But it doesn't help any more to despise them
I found out how much I am capable of when I don't think I can
VS
When I think I can
Life taught me this
School taught me this
School is our life right now
I WAS taking it for granted
My advice is to: STRIVE to push against this urge
You'll have a lot of voices telling you...
What you should text him
What school you should go to
Who you should go to prom with
When a number actually matters, or when its doesn't
But listen, how do they know?
How do I know?
You don't. But you won't lose any points for trying to do what you can.
Write down what your priorities and values are, and keep them.
Thank you for reading <3 ....if you did all the way. I wrote this post 4 different times trying to sum up my feelings, and I'm still not completely satisfied with this because I have so many feelings towards school I could've gone along with, but this is what happened. Love you, bye.
Sincerely,
K-dog
You're my best friend in the whole wide world and I did read the whole thing and I loved it!!! Especially the line about history because you're spitting straight factsssssssss. You're amazing and it's been so awesome to see you grow and even though we only had 1 class together this year as opposed to the 5 from last year it's still been real. You're going to do great things <3
