Quote of the day

When you were (or are) in school, do you remember how painful and long those days were? How you sat in an uncomfortable desk in a clammy classroom for hours on end listening to a teacher's lecture and watching the clock, silently praying for the fire drill alarm to go off so you can get some fresh air? Even if your experience wan't like that (because mine certainly was only like that in a couple of rare cases), do you remember those days when you just didn't want to go to school? We've all experienced it. Waking up at what feels like the crack of dawn, then having homework that keeps us up until midnight or beyond, and then repeating the cycle over and over again. Eventually, this lack of sleep catches up to you and you crave weekends desperately. The lectures in school are not always so fun either, but you still have to pay attention and take notes. Getting educated is a rough experience. It can be, though, an incredible and memorable (and dare I say it can sometimes be fun) experience. But over all, the roots of education are pretty bitter. But once you are all grown up and you have a job, the things you learned in school come in handy. Math is in everything, science is behind everything, english is important when writing applications for jobs or reports on people you are interviewing or all sorts of things, if you choose to live in a foreign country then your language will come in handy. All of your classes will be used in various ways throughout life. While it was rough to get that knowledge, when you actually put it to use, the fruit will be sweet.
