Response to AJ Auto. #3

In response to AJ's comment on school and education....I feel like we are on the same bitter plane. I have no good memories from school and I don't feel like school contributed to my education. The readings, the essay assignments and the homework don't have any relevance in my life. It doesn't seem to broaden my mind or deepen my understanding of the world... but I just write the essay (pretend like I really saw an awe-inspiring element that I want to delve into and describe with an array of literary terms that sound intelligent).

But, what pushes me along and keeps me in school is something my parents told me....."cooperate and graduate." School is difficult, frustrating, political and sometimes seems pointless, but college graduates make up to a million dollars more in a lifetime than someone without a degree. Having a degree looks great on a resume and etc. There are perks that keep me going....there is the realization that it's the piece of paper (degree)that makes it worthwhile. Plus, I will be graduating soon! (That makes it so much easier to keep going!)
