For the first time in my life I feel like I'm actually learning things in school that I will use in real life. I've always disliked school. I would get good grades because that was what I was supposed to do, but I never saw any real point to what I was learning. I never would try my hardest in a class because I could get by with an A- by doing the minimum amount of work, and I didn't see any point in trying hard for something that meant nothing to me. It wasn't until this semester that I am actually taking a class at UMass that I feel is important. I'm excited to go to this class and I'm excited to learn. Now I know what all those nerds in high school meant when they said how much they loved school and homework and learning etc... I genuinely enjoy learning what I am being taught right now. I have this thirst for more knowledge now because I have finally found something that is meaningful to me, something that is worth trying for.
