Wow, school is almost coming to an end. I am really excited about graduating, because frankly, i can't take any more school. Even though i really just don't do much anymore. I'm sick of waking up early, teachers, homework, projects, basically everything about school is annoying. In gym we even run outside now, that sucks. I am ready to be outta high school..but am i ready for Western? I hate the thought of being so effing far away from home. I'll go to a school where i only know one other person...i'm sure i'll make friends fast, but still, it'll be so different. I won't be able to randomly sleep in reshma's room with her, or anything like that..that really sucks. I also don't wanna learn when i go there, i just wanna go have fun, and be done. I'm sucha lazy slacker now, college will shape me up, i hope. I'm ready to be 22, and outta school. I'm not trying to rush, but i just want to be teaching, and doing something i actually am passionate about.This golden apple stuff has really been amazing. I am blessed.
I was thinking about teaching, teachers, and what kind of teacher i want to be. There are teacher's who are nice, mean, you love, you hate, you like, but dont learn from, you hate, but teach you everything. I've had a wide range of teachers. Some you can tell all your problems to, and they'll listen, some you just want to rush outta their class, some who would never remember having you, some who will never forget you. I want to be one of those memorable teachers. The type of teacher who taught you something valuable, but who also showed you a good time. The teacher i think who really cares about his students, and makes an effort to keep in touch with them, would have to be Herr Taylor. This is my fourth year having him, and i can tell him anything. I emailed him the clip of me on the news and he thanked me for showing him, and wished me the best of luck. He is a hard teacher, can be boring, but he honestly wants the best for his students, and that is a very admirable trait. You just can't not like him, even if you tried.
I'm beginning to get older, and i guess i'm beginning to learn a lot more. Life is honestly so short, and precious, that you shouldn't waste a minute. And it's really hard not to waste it, because there isn't always much to do. I'm really grateful for what i have, and who has been put in my life. I look at other people, and their situations, and i just feel extremely blessed.
I don't understand certain people, and i probably never will, but i'm sure plenty of people don't under me either.
I've never been disliked for no particular reason. Usually when people meet me, they love me. I'm a very nice person, i'm really easy to get along with, and i'll help anybody. If i see someone is sad, i'll go and ask them what's wrong, but without actually pitying them, but with just wanting to help. I know what it's like to be in almost every situation. I've experienced losing people, welcoming new people, i know what it's like to not want to live, and i know what it's like to never want to die. I know it's hard to survive, to get good grades, to get along with certain people. I'm not that old, but i'm not 5 years old anymore. I'm lucky enough to know what it's like to be in love, and i know i'm gonna marry the guy i'm with right now. I have such strong emotions, and sometimes i feel i've matured too quickly. By the time i was 5 i was like i'm going to be a teacher, and i never let that outta my head. By the time i was 8, i was watching Party of Five. I'm not perfect, and i never will be, but i guess you guys just have to accept that. I don't go out of my way to impress anybody. i have a good heart, and know what i want out of my life. I'm sorry if people like you can't approve of me, but people like me can't approve of you either.
