<p>Why the hell is school just so damn difficult…</p>
<p>dammit, memorizing millions of vocab words, comprehending math concepts, reading for reading comprehension, trying to understand spanish, trying to comprehend chem concepts, essays, projects, strict communist teachers, condescending peers, bragging, racism, dammmittttttt.</p>

<p>its life.</p>
<p>live with it…things are not going to get easier.</p>
<p>Racism? I’m not sure how that got thrown in there… but what exactly is a communist teacher?</p>
<p>It gets easier if you don’t think of it as horrible work. It could be worse…</p>
<p>^^I’m curious about the communist teachers as well.</p>
<p>every year in high school, including this year, i always start off the year thinking the same thing. i always go through a period where i want to quit all of my honors and ap classes just because its so hard and it would be so much easier if i didn’t have so much work.</p>
<p>i only saw 2 solutions in that situation: to quit, take the easy road, and eventually have an average life, with an emphasis on average, or, i can suck it up and run with it. there was something, however, that i hated about being average. i knew and know that i’m better than average, and i always hated wasted talent. if you follow basketball, vince carter is a prime example. i’m a nets fan and big vince carter fan, but i hate it when he doesn’t work hard. so, i chose to work my butt off, and i just didn’t take no from myself as an answer. no matter how much i had to work, i just did it. no excuses.</p>
<p>now i’m not perfect, i admit that i slacked off every once in a while (or actually a lot), but it doesn’t take away from the fact that i worked hard. and if i “only” get a 92 like i did frosh and soph years, then so be it. but i’m the kind of person that goes to sleep at night with the what-ifs in mind, and the worst what-if i think of is “what if i took the extra time to _______, and i got maybe a few points higher here, a few points higher there, and my grades reflect the kind of student i really am.” because so far in high school, i have like a 92 average, and i know i’m capable of like a 93-94, even 95. </p>
<p>eventually it all comes down to choice. sdms12, you can look at all of those things you listed as excuses and take the easy road and be average. or, you can look at those, think of yourself as the underdog, and buckle up (and possibly get some lubricant) because chances are, if you’re on cc, you’re not average. you’re better than that. but hey, that’s just me. it’s all up to you what you want to do.</p>
<p>^Thanks for your great input. Your perspective or solutions are indulging.
I also detest wasted potential.</p>
<p>It could be A LOT worse. Trust me.</p>
<p>Yes, of course.</p>
