....FCAT should go to a deserted island...
So... FCAT was boring today as well.
Only it was math.
...Easy-ish... but boring, as usual. Then again, it's a good excuse to get away from my third period Journalism 1. With that eacher it's a lose-lose situation: if she doesn't like you, she's a dinosaur in an old woman's body, but if she does like you, she likes you so much that she sends forth her love in her utmost passion: Journalism. And lots of it. So much extra work...! She loves me too much, lol... but then again, she puts the "blame" on the fact that I'm a gifted student (as in the term, not an adjective) and that I require extra assignments.
...Okay... in elementary school, we'd just have a special class on Tuesdays at a nearby elementary school where we'd do special activities that unknowingly were testing you to the limit constantly. It was fun, being challenged and having fun at the same time ^_^.
But now, this is high school, and they're preparing us for the "real world" where there's all work and no play.
...I can't help wondering: what exactly is this "real world" they're always talking about? Is the "real world" a cruel place that the world becomes after you graduate or is it the fact that you'll be stuck in an office 'til the end of days?
I find the way ppl go about this "real world" talk preposterous. Seeing that there's good in the world as you grow older is just as hard as seeing it as all dark, so why are adults so aggravated that children see it as a wonderful place? Or that teenagers are always moody because of it?
Are they upset 'cuz they've forgotten what it is that we're here for and that children, still young and not that far from the point where they knew all truth before birth, are able to?
They call this "innocence" and maybe it is, but truth be told, some ppl are simply reversed when they grow up. Instead of seeing everything as good, they're so pessimistic and name the state of mind that is their life "the real world", where all is dark and all is evil and the only good is simply a sugar coat that will be washed away upon the next rainfall.
The world isn't evil. The world was born from something good and, just like us, as we grow older, it might be hard to grasp the essense from which we came, which is good, and also adapt to the new side of us that we acquired when we were born, which is an equal balance of bad.
And even then, only our emotions can tell us what side each action lies upon, whether it's good or bad.
The world's only as good and bad as you see it... Even when things are at their worst, there's always another way to look at them. This freshman drama, school, friends, work, love, all of it can be seen differently if you try, because the heart is always hoping and waiting to find the good it was born from, even if you don't know it.
So keep hope and don't deprive another of theirs. It may be in ignorance, but it may be all they have.
ja ne!
~Kyra
