(no subject)
College is so funny. You come here to expand your horizons, learn who you are, identify your profession, and narrow in on what you believe in.
Then you wind up half naked at a party completely wasted, muttering about how fucked up you are.
HA.
Luckily, that wasn't me. But I saw this girl, this intelligent girl, let that happen. I found it hilarious, pathetic, and sad.
My comp I teacher assigned me an 800 word essay. The topic? "Why is your life important?"
Excuse me?
This is a college essay? Right.
I have no clue as to what I could possibly write. If I don't even know who I am, then how could I know why I was put on this earth? Ok, ask me this same question 6 years from now, when I (hopefully) have my masters.
My professor told me to brainstorm, so I did. I jotted down some things.
I thought of one particular person. But I think its the other way around. He's here for me, I'm not here for him.
So the only thing that continually ran through my head was teaching. My passion.
Why am I here Professor Smith?
To be the teacher I never had. To be the person those kids can go to. To be the teacher that cares. And hopefully, to be the one that revolts against the FCAT :-)
Wish me luck.
