Changes -Hope Reed

The education system is awesome.  I'm so glad that I know the derivative of a polynomial equation, the kinetic energy of a moving car, and the integral of x-5.  Thank God!! I'm sure I'll use that in my everyday life from here on out. And it's really useful for what I want to major in... Art Education. I'm so happy that I get the privilege to spend hours during the school day learning about all of this useful information. And the best part is when you get home, there's more for you to do so you can practice for four more hours!! Sweet. And it lets you have a really long night of sleep...  a whole 3 hours! 

According to a recent study, 4 out of 5 Harvard engineering students use Calculus and physics in their day-to-day life. And they're smart, so obviously its essential to everyone. 

I'm also thankful that the education system doesn't waste their time on teaching us crap like how to pay bills, apply for college, write a check, raise children in the future, stuff like that. I'll never need to know how to do any of that, like why would any of that be remotely important? Not sure, so thank goodness we don't spend time over that junk. 

Though we fail tests in the hard classes with math and science, it's totally worth it in the end because I'm learning information important to me. Our GPA's lower in our junior year because this essential-to-our-everyday-lives stuff is hard to grasp, but it's okay because college accepts everyone and is extremely cheap. 

I'm proud to say that I know how to graph the cosine of x. I will use this going forward in life. High school, you have really done us well.
