Questions
Winning. How do we win? Better yet. How do we win in education? "Do we do what we're told?” "Sit quietly and listen?” Or do we "explore and question everything?"
Education. What is the point? Why are we here? "To learn and be successful?" Or to "become another brainwashed robot?" Why is this place so messed up? So broken? So wrong? "They're doing it all wrong."
"They don't concentrate on creating a happy individual just another sheep." "I don't question. I just go on and do what I'm told because that's what I've been told will get me somewhere. “It’s not right but I can't do anything about it. I'm just a number to them. My number is the only thing they care about. I guess I am just a robot. My feelings are not taken into account.
So if my number is so important I’ll just cheat. Right? "It's bad, but I’ve done it in the past." Good number = good future. "That's what we're made to believe but you'd be crazy to believe that in today's world."
So who do I listen to? Who do I go to? What do I do? I'm lost. Thanks for the extra stress. As if what you've created wasn't stressful enough.

Currently I've been stepping out of my comfort zone and doing things I haven't done before so this is why I'm trying to publish a piece I wrote in class.
