In all honesty, school is really a burden to me. That's how I feel about it.

Every day, sitting in class, you are either force to sit and try to listen, to learn things that you don't necessarily want to know about. And most of the time, you just feel really BORED and just want to sleep, considering that class starts at 7 in the morning.

Then while you feel excited when it comes to PJPK period or when recess comes, you sit through lessons after lessons, day after day. You feel really frustrated when the teachers sometimes mumble or teach so quickly, you can't catch what they are really trying to teach. And when homework is done badly or incomplete due to us not being adept at the topic, we get talked down. I mean, it's not like we really want to learn every single bit of every single thing, but more like there isn't really any other path.

You just get really annoyed when teachers or parents come and tell you, "If you really dislike studying, then just go out and work!". The very problem is not how many people have succeeded in going down that path, but more like how many have failed. And most of us don't have the innovation or the motivation to work extremely hard in order to become really successful due to the way we were brought up: Study hard, get good grades, and go sit in an office when you get older.

REALLY? Don't you think with this type of message we are given since young, we are all stuck in the mindset that "We have to study to do well" or "I can only go with the flow". It's downright condescending to think that everyone looks down on you just because your grades are bad, or you seem like a disobedient child. It doesn't matter as long as you aren't given the right choices, because we are only given one. Only the odd few out of a million would actually break out of the system and become successful.

Does our opinion as a student really matter? Probably not. Too bad then.

 Another day of school to go.
