School literally consumes your life especially if you’re a high school student. Teenagers, during the school year, don’t have time just to live life. I mean education is important but one thing for sure is that education is not everything. Sometimes sitting outside and looking up at the sky, feeling the sun on your face and enjoying the cushion of soft green grass can teach you more about life than any book can. I really wished I had time for that. I wish there was time to explore the secret compartments of my mind and not always think about who constructed the constitution and how did it affect our country? All that’s great but what about the creative things teenagers could come up with if they were given more time to go outside and play, yes play, or sit down and think not about facts and specific dates but just think, and read a book, a book they actually enjoyed, a book that related to their mood and their thoughts. Life would be seen as a much more adventurous beautiful thing, if there was more time to just live in it and not worry about heavy dates looming over us.

We are only kids once and I mean this seriously, we only live once and we should enjoy each and everyday to the fullest because you never know when your time is up. I don’t mean to be cynical about life, but it’s the honest truth. Tomorrow is not promised that’s why its very important to enjoy yourself, enjoy what you have and what you can give as much as possible. That’s why when it come to work in school, we must ask ourselves, when is enough, enough?

School’s demand on kids should definitely be lessened. There is not enough time given to us kids to just enjoy the day, explore nature, explore our minds and the world. We are all placed on this earth to fulfill a purpose and enjoy the beauty of the world God has given us. There should be more time for kids and teenagers to enjoy a life of leisure and happiness before thrown into the working world of adults. Life is beautiful and adventurous; give us time to experience it.
