School's Awesome

I love school. It's fantastic in many ways. There are so many paths for many people to take and the idea of changing your mind and pursuing knowledge in any field is a fun adventure to embark on. Also it is the place to make friends of any kind. Those friends could be the defining moment in your life that could determine who you are and who is worth surrounding yourself with.

Having the ability to make friends for your entire life will probably be a very valuable ability. When children are in school, the biggest hurdle is finding a place to fit in. Every child will be asking them selves the same question, "Where do I belong?" and so forth. Finding people with the same interests is an essential skill to becoming acquainted with others and moving forward with relationships. These interactions shape what people become in life. My brother once told me, "you are who your friends are" and I thought that made sense because the friends you make influence the way you think constantly. Also, having them be around you and letting them be around you must mean that they are worth your time and they would also feel the same way. They are influencing you and you are influencing them. Making friends in school make a huge impact on anyone's life.

Many people dread coming to school sometimes and I can understand the feeling. Having to wake up early in the morning to sit down and listen to someone talk for hours is not the most appealing thing to be doing. The freedoms and social aspect of being in school, however, make a friendly environment for anyone to learn. Everyone who is in the classroom is there to learn for the most part. Everyone there is pursuing the same goal of learning more about the world in some way or another. Having the join this pursuit of knowledge with others is a grand adventure in itself.

  1. Haven't made any friends yet at CSULA, I find it difficult to make so many good friends in Los Angeles! Not quite sure exactly why, but I do love the school as well. It opens up alot of doors and closes less doors than any other commitment!
