Camp Wannaweep

What is high school but a day camp? We come, put our lunches in our cubbies, divide into our little groups, go around to our different stations, and then we go home. Sounds like fun. And through this hustle and bustle do we really walk away with anything? YES! but not book knowledege (if that happens it was totally be accident, we just happened to open the book and the knowledge just flew into our minds). We learn about life, where we will be in ten, fifteen years. Our experience in high school (and in college) is what we will base the rest of our lives on. How many time have you heard some one say, "Man, when i was in high/college school..." At that point you want to run because they will talk and talk about something that has no relavence to anything. People feel that one
mistake they made in high school screwed their karma for good. But while we learn of life, most of walk away with no knowledge of what we tlaked about when we were in "tribe time."

And yet there is this urge to get that 'A.' What does that mean any way? I'm good at cramming information two minutes before the test starts? GREAT! Think for a sec, if your an adult and you work what if you got an 'A' instead of a paycheck? HA! HA! I'm sorry. That was mean of me, but you must admitt if that happened that would SUCK. Me personally, I measure my life in those little packs of Splenda sugar. Right now, I'm at 13 packs, not very good. I'm normally at a 32-ish. Yea...that sounds about right...32.

No, but on a serious note, I measure my life on how many smiles I can put on the faces I meet that day. Not only is someone happy but I helped make them that way. If that's a crime, I'll gladly take responsibility for it.

This is what I really think about in class...




Make everyday better than the last! :)

yeah i agree with you. the problem is that no one really sees it for what it really is. everyone sees it as an inconveince. including myself."a rock in their stream" or whatever ms.will was talking about today.

Once we learn how to suck it up and make it the best that it can be (if that's even possible lol) then it won't be such a drag.
