Teachers

We hate them more than we love them.

We try to ditch school because we think their sole purpose for existence is to ruin our lives and deprive us of any fun.

True, there are good teachers and bad teachers. I have, in various ways, disrespected the teachers I absolutely hated. Then I became a teacher for two weeks.

It is one of the most demanding jobs ever.

I felt down when my students didn’t listen. I felt horrified when giving out low grades on a test. I felt absolutely dumbstruck when I caught a kid trying to throw away his homework. I honestly don’t know if I could’ve kept it up for 180 days when I barely survived two weeks.

We expect so much of our teachers (not saying we shouldn’t), but it is super difficult to become an effective teacher, meeting all your students’ expectations. To this day, I’m not even sure I’ve become such a teacher during those two weeks.

There will always be teachers you like and dislike. Maybe you don’t actually do anything for an entire school day. Maybe your teachers literally teach you nothing.

But all teachers have one similarity: they’re willing to go through 180 days of enduring your immaturity for shitty income just because they care more about your education than do most people in this world.

At least show a little bit of respect.

To be honest...

I’m really sick of so many people right now (some that are “friends,” some that aren’t).

I’m sick of people who think that they are the center of the universe and nothing else is important.

I’m sick of people who bitch about all their “problems” when they’re luckier than 90% of the world population.

I’m sick of people who think their opinions matter more just because “Oh, I have a better GPA” or “Oh, I have more APs than you.”

I’m sick of people who tell me how to do something when they clearly can’t do it themselves.

I’m sick of people who refuse to listen for the reasons stated above.

Why do we spend so much time just thinking about ourselves? Have we become so arrogant and vain that we don’t have time for anything, or anyone, else?

Lessons Learned the Hard Way

I’m never going to say that what I did was justified. I was absolutely crazy. Everyone knows that.

What I forgot, though, is that, despite all of our faults, we are only human. One of our biggest flaws is that we let our passions take over our judgment. I let that happen today.

If this post makes no sense at all, I’d rather you not ask me.
