Finals week is over!!!
The joy that fills my heart right now is enormous.
Biology was my last final and it was quite daunting. I read through 700+ slides over again for my review, watched some videos about photosynthesis and cellular respiration, taught it to my roommate, and prayed.
I still don't know my score, but ya know what? I did my best. I've learned that that's all that matters. School gives back to you exactly what you put into it. Maybe not in the form of an A or praise from the teacher, but knowledge is precious. It is valuable. Knowledge is one of the few things you take with you into the next life. Even though the modern school system is not perfect and the grading system is a little whack, learning can still take place. I have begun to really value my education. So many people never get one. Even in the seemingly useless memorizing, studying and writing, I know I am using my brain, getting closer to my potential and being productive.
So take heart high schoolers, junior highers, elementary kids, students of every kind! It is all worth it.
Stepping off my soapbox-
A big thank you to Emmy for making me watch inspiration videos and dancing with me to Eye of the Tiger to get me pumped for my test. That was pretty chill of you.
