Distractions from School

Image
Distractions and lack of motivation are what keep me from completing assignments on time. Sometimes a new video will come out on Youtube or a new season will come out on Netflix. I get tempted to watch during my work time, then I end up doing that instead of homework. I think this happens with a lot of kids also since most of them have phones now. The internet is full of distractions that kids cant avoid. My lack of motivation although comes from too much homework and having to deal with a job at the same time. Children don't have to worry about hour-long homework assignments from each class or when they have to go into work. They only get a 30-minute worksheet they have to finish in like 2 days. I would love to go back with the same knowledge I have now, I would pass elementary school with no problem. We all have to learn though and elementary school is part of this process.

Wisdom From me to You

Image
For my great-grandchildren reading this, years from now, I want them to know that it'll be okay. Life is hard and full of unpleasant surprises from the day you're born till the day you die. Don't spend your life thinking about those moments. Spend your life appreciating the good things that have happened to you. I wish I learned that sooner which is why I'm writing this right now. For you. If you live the rest of your life looking back, you'll be stuck in the past. These moments make you the person you are today. Life shouldn't be about regretting your past decisions, it should be about learning from them and trying not to repeat them. If you do, that's fine, you have your whole life to correct yourself and become the person you want to be.

School rules

In school, we have rules in order to benefit the community, and the system that we work in. More is achieved through teamwork, but in order to work together there must be some sort of guidelines in place. Without this guidance, things are easily lost in translation and it is hard to get things accomplished. At a young age, we are taught to walk in a line to and from class, listen to instructions and not talk when the teacher is talking. These rules change as we gain experience and independence, but in school there are always certain dos and dontś. Teachers will always expect you to act a certain way while performing schoolwork, because there is considered to be proper classroom etiquette. There are reprimands in place for students who fail to follow these rules, that way people will be scared of the consequences and more likely to cooperate.
