A School that I Dreamed to Be in

A School that I Dreamed to Be in

Two years ago, I was a student in Shanghai, China. I was a good student – always finish homework on time. I worked very hard to get pretty good grades. I was one of the leaders of Elementary School. However, it wasn’t a… it wasn’t a proud job. Well, it was to me. But some others say, “Why bother work so hard for a job that no one cared?” Those people who think that way because they’re such losers. They cared only about their own life. They can do anything just to get an easier life. No I think they’re wrong. People did care. Not like everyone cared to be a leader or what but the truth is, good students can fight and argue all day long just to be the best. Friendship is nothing at that time. Some students with bad grades just cared about nothing. They do nothing when others are taking piles of notes. They give up on studying, because they don’t think there’s no more meaning. So they tried out things they are good at. But teachers don’t admit. People think it’s useless. People work for themselves. People become a slave of useless knowledge. It is awful and if they keep going like that generations by generations, they’ll have no happiness. Kids are not going to have a nice childhood memory. I can’t imagine I was almost one of them.

But now, I’m standing on Canadian students’ side and looking strangely at the school, at the country with a little bit of Canadian student’s feelings, I believe.

In Canada, I was one of them, I can feel it. One classmate won a reward, everyone cheers. One friend got a prize, every friend acclaim. It’s great to be one of them. They are a group. We are a group. We aren’t jealous when others are better. We seem even happier than the one who was the best. We help each other when needed. We don’t discipline when someone screwed up. We work hard together. So no one is left behind the team. No one is ditched lonely. We inspire our people to be good together when they feel disappointed. At the end, we share our happiness and achievement together.

I’m so glad to be in Canada, because I don’t have to waste my time on doing mountains of homework. I smile because I don’t have to look for a better life every day, because I satisfied. I play because this is time for me to learn to enjoy life and have a better future.

Thank God for today. Thank God for what I have in front of me. Thank God for my life. Be satisfied and happy if you’re one like me because it’s the place that I used to be dreamed to be in and it’s a place where students in Asia, Africa, and Europe are dreamed to be. J
