Twelve Years Of school is Coming to an end
Posted 10-22-2007 at 10:27 PM by Markme
School, we all love to hate it.
I especially disliked school for my first 10 years; it wasn’t a pretty experience for me. You find that along the way people actually do grow up though, they realise they were being complete idiots and they change to fit in with society.
I really think that for the first 7 years of our schooling are pretty useless in regards to trying to learn stuff... sure we learn our times tables, how to read write and spell... but its nothing compared to the monster amount of working that highschool is going to throw at you.
So there’s just under 3 weeks left of school ever for me, am I excited about it? It's funny but I'm really not all that excited, I'm excited about the celebrations and I'm excited that its over, but I'm not real sure if I like the idea of not being at school with the people I have spent the last 5 years getting to know and in some cases the last 12 years.
School has never really taught me a lot; it has just kept me busy while I made up my own mind about what I want to do with my future. The skills I have today are in now way a result from my schooling. People teach themselves the things they want to learn, just like after high school most people go for a career that you could never see them doing.
A lot of people get the to end of their 12 years at the slave yards(school) and don’t have a clue on where they want to go, sure they think that they want to do a degree in science, computers, medicine.... but in the future most of them end up being something completely different.
I want to be an entrepreneur; I'm going to be studying Business management, marketing, investing, and my masters in I.T.
School never helped me in deciding I wanted to do these things, it was more by looking at myself and looking at where I want to be by the time I retire... and I plan to retire at 25
.
In my opinion, 80% of my subjects at school really haven’t got a single thing to do with the real world, right now I'm suppose to be doing an assignment for ITS (Information Technology Systems) and we are looking at basic learning games and rating them... where in the world am I going to do this shit? Its just like all the other crappy assignments I've been given in this class and its the reason I’m failing, because I don’t have a reason to even bother doing them.
I do at least 9 hours of computers a week in school time, as I have 3 classes, but from all of them I haven’t learnt a single thing, I think I’ve rather taught other people and spent my time in these classes helping people out with errors and small technical problems.
And this is really why school is pointless for me, I know that I'm not going to try and I was never going to try, in the first 10 years I was naive and figured that school didn’t matter for shit, in the last 2 years I realised school mattered, not because of the things I'm suppose to be learning, its really just there to help develop the way you think and the person you are trying to become. People influence you every day, its kind of like when people go to success talks and then rush out and go frantic about the crap they have been told for their small entrance fee of a few hundred $$. I just filter the crap from the good content, plan, scheme and visual the place I'm going to get to. I do doubt myself about lots of things, I doubt myself a lot, but I never doubt that I’m going to get where I want to be.
You are rarely going to make a significant amount of money when you are working for the money, you have to make the money work for you.
Start a business, buy a house, build an empire.... stand up and stand out.
