If I had a dime for every time I heard, "High school is the best 4 years of your life." I would be a millionaire. I don't enjoy high school, I spend most of my time feeling like I could do more with my life. I could be out working, earning a living -getting a start on "life". I could be out fighting in Iraq, or helping children in Africa. I could be out fighting for a cause and making something of myself. But, I can't because I spend the better part of my days in a brick-walled penitentiary doing menial tasks pretending to learn. Let me go to college so I can start my life. I'm sixteen years old, I'm in my youth, full of passion and bursting with ideas.
Other than I feel like I could be doing more with my life than being in school, I don't feel like students are treated equally. Yes, we are younger and yes, we have not been to college yet, but that doesn't mean that our ideas should be ignored. I would like some equality in the public school system. No one likes to be ignored or looked down upon.
Spending all my time looking at the flaws with my high school experience and not enjoying it. What if these are the best four years of my life and I'm too busy being negative to realize it?
