School

Hey Everyone,

Ben Z. is checking in. I know probably most of you people are or already have started school.

I'm heading into high school this year, 10th grade that is. My question is, should I be excited? Maybe. I mean a chance to make new friends, enjoy four hours of homework a night (that's a joke). There could be, and there is a huge plus side to starting high school, but I don't think I'm ready for all the junk that goes on around in school.

I mean, this whole dating at fifteen/sixteen? Uh, no, save it for when you're ready to get married. The pressure that people put on you to do things that are wrong. Drugs, for one. What's so cool about being high on drugs and doing drugs. Nothing.

I know it gets crazy and the pressure of things starts to weigh down on you, but try to hold strong. You have your whole life ahead of you. So instead of working on that relationship, try getting those grades up (not saying that people in a relationship have bad grades). Say no to the drugs and do your homework.

Hey, maybe you'll even have time for a night job or something. Maybe earn a little cash to put into savings or hey, buy that new video game system that you've wanted forever. Strive to do your best this school year, and even go beyond that.

Working hard plays off. Hey, you're reading someone's post who's had straight A's even in Kindergarten.

Well, it's getting late and it's time to get ready for a good night's rest. I promise to post soon. Maybe an update on school or something.

Until then...Ben out.
