Today, during my transition from period 3 to period 4 I felt like the kids passing by me were just a blur, I didn't pay attention to them anymore like I used to. I used to be very alert of who's passing me by and which one of the people I knew so I could smile to them, but today, at that time, I wasn't paying attention, I felt like it was some kind of a routine that would repeat itself over and over, at school: I would go to chapel, go to my first class, got to my second class, eat lunch, almost fall asleep during math, and have fun in Geography. It seemed boring to me, but then my mind averted to the kids and people in developing and 3rd world countries who do not have this education. I thought about how much we didn't want school because we got it so easily and how much they wanted school because it was very hard to get an education. I know that sometimes, sitting in my math class or french class I wish that it would've been a snow day so I can stay at home and relax my brain from learning. The kids in the 3rd world, do not have the same feelings as us, instead, they long for the boredom of lectures and math equations, to learn other languages, and what other less developed countries than theirs are out there. How fortunate are we in Canada, Japan, and USA, that we get education. It may not be excellent, but it is certainly easy to get, whereas most other countries are not granted with postsecondary education and sometimes, it is only the richest that can afford education. I think we should be grateful for the education that we are getting and even when we feel bored out of our mind, we should think about those who do not have this chance like you do.
