Why does a sheet of paper determine my future?
Why is knowledge trapped inside of people who can't afford to realize their potential?
Why don't teachers teach me anything? Why am I working for a grade on a paper instead of to try to learn something?
Why is creativity lost in the forgetten and neglected student?
Why is passion looked down upon? Why am I going to school to see that my craft is meaningless?
Why do people cheat on exams? Why am I so scared of a grade on a paper?
What do I work for? What do I learn? WHY do I learn?
Why do I work when schools value a grade on a paper more than they value me?
