Growing up can be a painful process which includes hard work with school, friendship, and parents, that prepares you for real life and independence. School work is like running on a treadmill it’s endless, tiring, and at some times insipid. Every night I perform the same acts of checking the plan book, beginning with English, which usually consists of writing essays, poems, and anything else to do with writing, then trying to understand the math homework while looking at my notes, and then looking back at the lesson in the book, and either history or science homework, depending on the night. The hard work with friendship almost always happens when you are finished with your homework. When you have completed your homework, you will find yourself doing things that have something to do with your social life. This is when you begin to make friends, and with friends comes drama. Unfortunately, drama brings discomfort to your life, which completely changes the way you think about going to school. When this drama comes into your life you will find yourself spending more time with your parents. Spending time with family is always a great way to get away from everything, because trust me, nobody will mess with you under the protection of the ones who love you, until they begin to embarrass you, by talking for you and making it look like you can’t defend yourself. As you can see, this process looks like it can really prepare you for the trials of real life and independence.
