I quite enjoy school. Going to school is something that I find myself lucky to be doing. I mean, in history, there was a long time that it was considered any girl who knew how to read and write was considered a witch or a fragmentation from hell. Though there are times where, like every student, I have considered school to be a dark and dreary prison and the wardens to be the administrators and the guards to be the security. But the teachers also be prisoners forced to teach students who may or may not want to learn from the trove of knowledge that they hold.
School can be related to reading which is something that makes me happy so in theory school makes me happy. There are classes at school I may not want to take but to graduate I must take them. School throughout time has evolved. At one point School was just a place where one learned to read and write and learned arithmetic and a little history. Then other subjects were introduced. Today there are many institutions for learning. Back then, before 1900s, there were not very many institutions except for the one in town or in the town next door.
I find myself trying to take the classes that will better prepare me for college, to hopefully reduce the number of core classes I will need to take. I also find myself trying to take classes that I know that I will enjoy. I love going to school for learning is fun and knowledge is powerful.
That's a great attitude - well, as someone who has chosen to spend her life in a school setting, I suppose of course I'd say that! It is amazing to think about how just a hundred years ago, girls were not expected to go to college or to learn anything valuable... and yet some people don't like or appreciate school. I think you have a great perspective.
