To Be or Not To Be

          As a person, I'd like to be a student knowing or not the hardships that I will be facing. I know that there are lots of people out there who are unsatisfied of what they have. It's like there are two types of people in the world, a rich man who wants to have fun and a poor man who wants money. It's the same for other students. Some wish that they just drop off to school and start working while some uneducated wants to go to school and struggle. 

         I think both of those are not a bad thing if that is one's desire. In reality, they'll have to pay the consequences of their acts. To be a student maybe a lot of work but it is the one that makes me a better person. It trains me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Being a student, it is guaranteed that I will be scolded at, be under time pressure, be at troubles with fellow student, and be frustrated too. Despite these, I would want to feel and experience such as those rather than having a life that is dull and simple, not knowing how fear, anxiety, and frustration feel like. 

         I believe that fear is not evil, but it is a way to know one's weakness. If you know your own weakness then you can become stronger and yet gentle. Experiencing fear of not having our assignments or even fear of a teacher can make you a better person. I believe that one must experience negative emotions to be a better person.

        Not being a student may also not be a bad idea, but in this era, education is a valued element in which enables us to earn a living. There are several rich people who dropped off to school and yet they become millionaires. I certainly look up to them. This should not encourage students that it will be okay being uneducated. Those people have been struggling very hard. They had done things that are unbelievably imaginable. They had done various things that made them as worn out as rugs. They have attitudes that not all people in the world has, those are "perseverance, determination and passion". Most people are not successful because they want money. Sometimes if you seek what makes you happy which is not money, that is when money follows you.

         Being a student is very much a delight to me. It makes me experience lots of things. If I were to pick between "being a student or not being a student" I'd still pick to be a student, knowing that there are obstacles I need to face. I'll put on a brave face and walk head on to the path of being a student.
