Graduation
This
one really scared me. I had a hard time even thinking about what I was reading
do to the fact that I am graduation in a couple of weeks and I am scared to
death. Everything she said worried me more and more and made me think of
completely different things. Such as how she was talking about graduating from
the eighth grade. I started remembering graduating from sixth grade and from
the 9th grade. And to look into the future about 20 days and see
myself graduating high school is really weird. When she described the dress and
the outfits they were wearing I could help taking a mental shopping trip to
find what I would wear on the 1st.
I can picture it now, going through the whole mall and not finding one
thing that I either like, fits me or is in my price range, simply
horrifying.
I
have noticed a lot of people at school starting to give up as a result of
senioritis. And I can’t count the amount of times I have heard disrespectful
kids ask the teacher when in their life they will ever need to know what they
are learning. They think it is better to simple learn nothing than learn
something that may help them in the future, but that just means that these kids
probably don’t have very high expectations for themselves after high school. I thought
about this when I read the section where she talks about how the accomplishment
of graduating means nothing because to others she is a maid, farmer, handyman,
or washerwoman. Her lifestyle is dependent on what others expect from her, not
what she expects from herself although she knows she can be successful.
