Do you ever just know when you are ready for bigger and better? With a semester and a half of high school left I am just completely done. I think the biggest way of showing that is that I missed the honor roll for the first time ever this past semester. But the thing is I’m not even Cupset about it. I wake up to come to school (almost) everyday and spend the day doing what I consider to be pointless work. I can’t wait to be in college and be working toward my career. I think high school is fun the first two years but there is a point when you realize you are ready to move on. I will miss seeing the same kids everyday next year but thats just a part of growing up. I understand that I am still a kid but in some ways I feel like I’m being treated more like a child now than in middle school. Like, really, I can’t go anywhere without a pass or I get a detention? Half of my grade is 18 years old but god forbid we are allowed to leave school for lunch. I really do understand rules are rules, but administration needs to realize we aren’t 8th graders and if we aren’t given respect we won’t give respect. It’s a funny thing really.
I just hope the next three months fly by because being treated with so little freedom is not in any way preparing us for college. I feel like high school has not made me ready for the future at all. I’ve learned so much useless information but yet when it comes to living on your own and paying bills and such I’m completely clueless. I think our education system needs a reform, because throwing kids into the real world without knowing anything really won’t do justice for anyone.
