Life

Almost two months have passed since my last post which is astonishing to me. Usually I have a sudden, strong urge to post something but I am nowhere near a computer so the urge ceases. I am making a post now because a just watched a documentary on Netflix concerning the success education system, or the lack thereof. There are not words for how incredibly blind I have been to my surroundings, but I can see clearly now. The education a child receives is based strictly on the credentials of both the perspective schools and their teachers. Being oblivious to the necessity of education in general and having a hateful heart towards how systematic teachings progress through the years, I never showed any gratefulness to MY education. The statistics in that documentary scared me to the point of tears multiple times and all I can do is think about how lucky I am to have a mother who gave me the opportunity to reach achievement by enrolling me into a great school district. If I ever have kids (which I hope I will someday) I am going to hold myself to the same self-sacrificial motives as my single parent mother did. There are only so many spots for children to get good educations, and I want my family to be included. I am very proud of what my district's education has produced, but I am sure many other young adults my age could not say the same thing. That is all.
