Education


 Who does not remember their first day of school? It is such a horrible memory! Leave behind your bed early in the morning to get to a place full of strangers just to learn. Then you come across an angry teacher who does not let you talk, walk, look where ever you want and even breathe without permission. You start trying to learn all the names of your torture companions who you in friendly way call classmates with which "fortunately" you will share the remaining 14 years of education. You learn to write your name, read, count and everything seems to be not so bad. Until you pass of grade. Now you have to get used to another teacher, a new classroom and maybe some new classmates. That does not sound too difficult. But now the assignments are more difficult  and  you must learn how to add and subtract, to write complete sentences and do homework (boring stuff).


 One year passes and you're  in elementary school where everything is further complicated. The task are even more difficult and boring.Now you have exams for which your mother has to help you study. Six years of torture and routine pass and you graduate from elementary school.Now begins a new challenge, you enter middle school .Here the teachers are more easy going, you don't get much homework and you're now used to your classmates (torture companions). The elementary school routine is repeated; studying and taking exams every week do not forget the loooooooooong hours of doing homework and the much-beloved group projects where nobody did anything and you ended just making them alone.


 Three more years pass and now you have entered High School. FINALLY! You now love your classmates and see them as family, your teachers are so cool and the exams are so easy. You have many extracurricular activities  that you love. But the torture is still there; you have to learn many things, have to wake up early and see people that you do not want to see because even though you love most of your classmates there is always this person you really hate. At this point your basic education is almost complete. Now you are a Senior. You have to study for PEAU or SAT. The rest of your education depends on this tests. You have so much pressure. Finally you get the results and see that you've succeeded. Now you can go to the university you want and end your education. But now you look behind and see that all of those hours of torture were just the beginning of everything.
