We are told
to relax, manage our stress levels.
Have some down time
But do not ever forget
your grades.
They say a “good” college
will set us up for a life of
success.
If we want that
we must
take all APs
and stay up until 2 a.m. working on a WebAssign.
If we want, no really, it’s our choice!
Just remember, they say
if we don't work hard we
will end up there
where “there” no one ever says
it is supposed to be obvious
It is not.
We are told to
relax.
Rest, get your eight hours of
sleep.
But we can’t. You won’t let us.

This is really true and sad and a very real problem as the way the school system is set up is medieval. Its impossible to have both health and good grades but both are necessary for success.
ReplyDeleteYou need to find the perfect balance. A balance between school, college, sleep, homework. All these things are very hard to balance, and people say that it comes with time. I have not even mastered it, but I can say that I have mastered procrastination. Maybe I have mastered it a little too much.
