Hello, my advice-loving-kittens! I have no idea what the subject for today is. Yes, the time has come that I am totally clueless. Well, actually, I have an idea. School. The overall subject of school. So, since the school-year is quickly closing in upon us, or is already hear for some, we shall explore school, its good and bad points, the fairness, respect...maybe I should do more than one post on this. Make it a series. Yes, I like that idea. So, this post shall be about school, and generally how some things work, from a student's eyes. And the rest of the series wall pertain to the Golden Rules. Now, let's begin, shall we?
The first day. The day that everyone dreads. The day that you have to wake up early after sleeping in so long. The day that we all get lost. The day we ask for directions. The day we establish our place in the classroom. I could go on forever-but I have a job to do. The good and bad points shall be explored!
The good things first. You get to see old friends that you haven't seen since before summer vacation. You meet all your teachers. You don't get tons of homework...well, it really depends on the teacher. You can set up your locker. You find your seat. You take a shower before noon, if you shower in the morning, that is. And there are many more. You only have to discover them for yourself, when you get to school.
And now, the bad points. You get lost. You look like an idiot, because you have to take your schedule and/or map out every five seconds, then look around, trying to tell where you are. You have to stumble around, lost, because you are too shy to ask where to go. For some, embarrassing introductions are made in front of the whole class. You find out which teachers are mean-the hard way. You may end up with loads of homework. You get trampled by older students on your way to the lunchroom. You find out that there is no recess in this grade. You are not allowed to go barefoot. Your mom forgot that you are vegan, and you don't have any money in your lunch account. Of course, everything is different for different people, and there are loads more reasons for you to find out, even though I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that you don't have to come across them.
And that is all. Please, tell me in the comment section if I should put the Golden Rules you find to be most useful in school as more than one volume. I don't feel like putting them in here, because, as a cat, I'm lazy. No, I am not a super hyper kitten. I'm a cat. Or would be, if God had had other (more preferable) plans. But, humanity does have its perks. Oh, listen to me, going off topic. I must bid you all farewell now, before I start talking about my own experiences with bowling. Farewell, my advice-kittens, and have a good time in school! Oh, and don't let others get in the way of being you!
