How can a textbook that cost $140 to buy at a school campus only cost $3.84 to sell back?
How can a doctor be paid thousands of dollars, only to put me through the system over and over again, take a large sum of my money even when I'm part of the low-income plan and then laugh at me and tell me I was just doing something wrong?
How can the very people that are supposed to be teaching us, making a pathway for knowledge and understanding become the very ones that in end- become robots? Too tired to teach, to tired to argue, to fucking tired of repeating the same material, the same answers over and over..
I'm thirsty for knowledge, and not for the damn degree that in the end is just a piece of paper to tape on my barren wall, but for the actual content of "knowing". But I'm surrounded by the monotone, by the teachers that are at the edge of giving up, by the kids that dont.. see..
See what.. change.. adapt.
I'm willing my soul to keep going.. keep going, keep hope, until this semester finishes, until I finish my degree, my masters, until I get a chance to take a breath, until I get a chance to escape to be.
What a cycle to lose yourself in.
