Where does an education go?

Well….I had my meltdown today. I had to leave in the middle of class because it finally hit. I cried all the way walking to my car. I know why it happened too:

  • I can’t and won’t disappoint people.
  • The only thing I want more than anything is for my family and friends to be proud of me and what I’ve accomplished through school. It’s so silly but their approval on anything means more to me than anyone knows.
  • If I screwed up, it would be wasting my parents money that I’m even at UA.
  • Grades aren’t everything but they do mean a lot especially the work ethic to get them.
  • I also got fed up with people who just don’t care about school AT ALL and would rather drink their lives away. How selfish can you possibly be? There are people all over the world who would kill for an education that is offered here in the United States and I just flat out do not respect people like that. I personally believe that an education is one of the most valuable gifts you can acquire and if you have that, then you have acquired something marvelous. 
  • I work so hard for even that much closer of achieving what I want and I will respect anyone who works hard; even if they aren’t the smartest or the brightest but goes to class, takes notes, and tries. I respect them more than those people who don’t go to class at all, don’t try, and are happy with an accepted C. What would happen if you actually applied yourself? Maybe, for those who actually read this, could take that into consideration. 

That is all.
