Schooling...really something good?

School can be a brightening thing, if looked upon with abnormal eyes. The tendency, I truly feel, is for us (who attend school) to view our education with limited eye-sight.

It’s all about what we “get in return,” what “happens to us” – in the sense of an outcome.

Instead, I think we ought to try viewing school through the eyes of “what can I give?”



Everything changes now. Classes that are difficult suddenly become a challenge to the complacency of human nature’s laziness. Fear of poor grades suddenly rises to a pedestal that promotes “The Power is in the Hat” (as the common phrase goes). Tired and sleepy we may grow, but working hard is a trait very few can proudly boast of. Why not become the uncommon?




There is a balance, as is with everything in life. Must not go too far, to forget those qualities in us that REALLY count, in our Lord's eyes - nor, must we ever forget about giving our love each and every day to our utmost capacity . Those two things surpass all grades from a textbook. However, let us not grow weary of working hard on the field that is before us... so that we may later build our house upon it.
