When I was at the point of choosing my middle high school, I was pretty chilled about it. I just wanted to go to a nice school, not that far away from my house, meet nice people and work at some cool projects. That's what I got - I took part in exchanges, I met great people and all that without big fuss. Different thing was when I had to choose my high school, then I was stressed like hell, because I just chose a bad school, not for me. I always think that if something is stressful, then why should I bother? I eventually got to my 'dream' high school, but eventually I changed it into something more ... normal. And well... here I am, in my normal, good high school, I learn, I have great teachers and yeah, I think that my choice was right. So for now, what differs me from people in those really great, popular schools? Why they have all the doors to future open?
I was told yesterday that it's because of the money - true. But why people rely on money that much? If I want to be a lawyer, I study, if I want to be an artist, I study. That's how it's supposed to be, I guess. Being in good school is a great thing, but if it stresses out so much, then why? Why can't it be fun? Anyway, the possibilities. If I choose my university, they probably care about my high school and also my grades or knowledge, but why the first one matters the most? And well... as my teacher said yesterday 'if you want to study in California or Holland, then think twice if it's possible for you. You are in wrong school then, I've never heard that people from your school ever studied abroad, in other, really good school, there are plenty of such' ... All I had in my mind was 'money' and 'contacts'. This was a bit painful, though it opened my eyes to something bigger, that I shouldn't care much about the number of my school, about the money or about the possibilities. I think that we are a possibility.
If you are good enough, you will achieve it, without good labels. That's what I think and I really hope that all that is true, that my abilities, talent or whatever else that I worked on, will be enough to go to the university I dreamt of.
Btw, this is how my life will look like soon :P
oh and well, school... yeah, I guess I'm pretty lucky! I have to admit, my class is pretty awesome, so many inspiring people in one, small group :)
Anyways, I wish you all a great weekend! :) xoxo
GOOD LUCK REMYYYY! :D
First of all, you don't 'study' per se to become an artist in my opinion. To become an artist, you gotta just practice, which is not the same. You want to be a writer? Write as much as possible, and have somebody you can trust look at it. The same goes for painting and rest. Might be a little different for a musician, though.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all - you are going to pretty awesome school :p it's listed in best schools in Pomorze, so yeah
yeah, well, while writing this note, I doubted what to write about artist - yeah, I think practicing is really important, so I guess studying was a wrong word :P but yeah, sometimes it's good to learn about other great artists and the types of art, right?
ReplyDeleteand yes, I know that my school is hell great, but what I mean by 'good school' was for instance 3rd high school, some really 'hard-to-get-in' schools :P
it's always great to experience art, it really helps in finding your own 'style' :) and I guess it is learning in some way
ReplyDeleteand calling 3rd hs a 'good' school is pretty lulzy
hahaha lulzy :P yeah, I really dont know how to call that school in a propriate way :P somehow it is considered as the best one :P
