Time Changes Everything

Time honestly changes things. Last week sometime, my professor had shown us a picture of school children. The first thing I could think about after looking at it for a short time was how fast things have changed. The children were patiently waiting to get on the bus. While in class my professor told us to look deeper than what the picture is showing. She stated to look at the picture with more of an imagination rather than what the purpose of the picture actually was. So as I was sitting there all I could think about was that how much has changed compared today. For example, all the children had these extra metal lunch boxes. There was not one child that did not own one back then. Back in the day it wasn't the schools job to make sure the children were fed like it is for schools today. Another thing that caught my attention was the fact that the children actually dressed up professional for school. In today's day and age most kids go to class with wearing pretty much nothing or rolling out of bed and coming to school as is. This really caught my attention. I believe that elementary school and middle school have really came a long way in time. I feel today these schools are more of babysitters so that parents can go to work. Is it not crazy how fast time can change everything? A lot of things definitely stood out to me. Who were the men in the front and back of the line of students? They seem like they could be making sure the students were getting on the bus safe. Time can do just about anything. Time can heal and time can change. School systems have definitely changed since back then. In most cases I think it for the worst. Sometimes I feel like we are in school so our parents could make a living without worrying about us. These school system needs CHANGE.

Who am I?

Most people can't answer who they are. Some people haven't really thought about it, and others are just oblivious to who they are. Most people just want to fit in so they think they know who they are, but in reality, they're just acting like the person next to them in fear that if they don't, they will be picked on. As far as i go, I may not know exactly who i am, but i know exactly who i want to be. Through out my life I've been in and out of all kinds of sports. From running track to playing basketball, I've learned something truly important. I've learned to set goals and to work at them. If you want something you have to go get it. So what I'm trying to say is that, all though I only have some idea of who i truly am, i know who I WANT to be. So with what I've learned from sports, I will do everything I need to do, to be exactly who i want to be.
