School Is (Still) Cool

These past few days I’ve been thinking about the times when I was in school. I couldn’t help to think that, life is much fair when you were in school. They simply grade you based on what you did. Less politic involved. It is purely based on your effort during that exam. Less ass kissing somebody or back stabbing someone (haha I know it sounded harsh).

All of these times when we were in school, did our teacher teach us enough to face this cruel world? My personal opinion is: No, it’s not enough. It will never be enough. The life itself is a continuous journey. A lot of unexpected things could happen just in a snap of finger. Life will teach you more than you can get in school, but it never hurts to feed your soul with great educations. So you are considered lucky to be able to receive a good education.

Then all of sudden, the memories of teachers I had in school keep coming one by one. The most memorable one would be my 5th and 6th grade teacher who told us to write everyday. I couldn’t remember what exactly has she told us, but the point where she said that “writing is good for you”, I can relate to that. Writing soothes me (hahaha), it’s a media to express myself. It’s amazing on how one teacher’s word were planted on my brain and leads me to keep writing until today.

I shared my opinions with some friends about the how happy we were when school and exams were the only things that matter to us. Most of them are agree with me, but they also mention one important point: being a student cannot earn you money. Well.. some student do manage to earn money while studying, as for me, I positively believe that I will have a negative income per month for almost one year during my plan to study in China. But I also believe that you need to have focus on what you’re doing to get the maximal output. So in this time, let me focus on my study first.

Sooo…… this is my way of saying: Let me spend my saving for my study (and holiday) in China. Hahaha. No lah.. I’m being serious when I decided to go back to school. I will cherish every precious moments in school knowing that after school, I need to come back to work (and it’s aint as fun as school). So for all the kids who’d wish that they can quit school, trust me kid: there’s time for everything. Right now you can only grumble when your teacher telling you this and that, but it pays off one day. You’re gonna know how cool it is to stay in school.
