Blog 4 - That was then, this is now

When I was young, I thought that school was just a place to go to during the day to hang out with friends and learn useless stuff, but now that I’m older, I see that all that all those things that we learned aren’t useless.
Now that I’m in high school, looking back school was super important. Some of those “useless” things that I learned, I use most of them today. I always thought math was stupid, but now I really use it all the time. Some things that aren’t even educational that I learned in grade school are very important now, like if you don’t go out and talk/interact with people, then you might not now the people that you know today. The schools reconsolidate when I was in 6th grade, and the only people I knew were the Hopedale kids. If I didn’t talk to other kids from Minier, then I probably wouldn’t even be friends with them. Also, if I didn’t learn the things that I did, I probably wouldn’t be able to get a job. It’s crazy that I really do use the things that I learned in school that I thought were pointless.
