Free as a Bird

Hello everyone! I just wanted to write about some more abstract things I suppose.

I've been feeling recently that the idea of our public schools is wrong. We shouldn't have to be defined by our grades or ACT score. We shouldn't put so much stress on arbitrary numbers. In the end, we won't be remembered as being valedictorian or not. We should be judged based off of what we do. It's so much more important to be a good person than it is to be good in school.

I feel that we should be educated about what we are doing to this planet rather than the history of some country that we will never visit. Sure, it's good to know, but it has no effect on us. We should learn what is important. I feel the environment is at the top of this. Most people have no idea the terrible things we are doing to it. But they know how to graph a polynomial! This is ridiculous.

The only way I think we can make a difference with this is to learn more about what is important in school instead of classes over irrelevant things.

Also, it is important to be free. To get your own happiness from yourself, to live for yourself, to be absolutely free. This means nourishing your own body, mind, and spirit. It means to be peaceful and kind. To be open minded and caring. If we all just did this, we could be free of war and petty drama.
