Sitting here in the middle of the night with my eyes half shut, I can't help but wonder about the life of Ridge. With only a few weeks remaining until I go to high school, the anticipation is...shall we say...killing me? Truly though; most people prefer summer and the lack of a scheduled day, not to mention the lack of school. But doesn't the fun of summer end after a while? For me, even a day of doing absolutely nothing feels so wasted, as if I am pouring my life down the drain (which I figuratively am). I feel so meaningless and down right bored. Dare I say it, but school would be a good change to the now familiar nonchalant way of life. I mean, sure school is strenuos, stressful, tedious, and boring, but it is something productive and something utterly beneficial. Shouldn't that alone motivate everyone to learn? Unfortunately not.
Hell, I won't say that I enjoy school, but I will say I enjoy learning; I enjoy the excitement of solving an impossible problem, the frustration of being stuck. And the only reason I enjoy this otherwise painful experience, is because I am motivated. I want to suceed, in order to live a better life or to feel good about myself. And even if your grandmother has told you a hundred times, if you put your mind to it, you really can do anything! But hell, motivation is not something found in a supermarket. To be honest, I often become lazy and tired, because I find no need to do anything. I am then no smarter than the stupidest person on Earth.
To be intelligent in the end, is to be determined.
Ridge can possibly offer me more motivation and experiences for me, always looking to the future, always trying to suceed. And I guess that is the theme of what I am trying to say: The future is what holds all our rewards. Hell it would be so much easier right now just to sit around and coast through high school, but to find a dead-end life waiting for me. It would take a bunch of effort to really push for the win (AKA: FTWWWWWWW!!!!!!!), but to find a much better life in the future. It definately isn't easy, and should not be attempted by the faint of heart. Instead, look to yourself and find something that drives you, because the whole world revolves around the gears of motives and motivation. Without it, we would have no purpose.
HS is alot different than junior high.. freshman year was my best, my favorite, but I know people who said it was there worse. I'm in my senior year now, and I'd give anything to go back in time and change some of the decisions I made.
I think you'll do fine in HS. Good luck though
