Sour, Sweet, Gone

Some experiences in life tend to be negative and seem pointless. School is thought, by some students, to be a waste of time and unnecessary for life success. As a middle-school student, I agreed with this accusation. Now, I realize that going to school is a gift to students and in some countries, not a given right. Children in small, poor countries do not get sufficient education and struggle with issues such as poverty and even staying alive. School is were students learn book smarts, social skills, and much more. Opportunities are available to people that graduated from high school and college that others do not receive. Students do not realize how fortunate they are to have the opportunity to attend a school. School is most certainly a blessing in disguise, and if one does not make the best of it, it will be gone.
