So here I am..in school...doing a paper when all I can think about really is being in my band and AIESEC of all things...
I'm sick of being in school..as I want to go out there and do something...but at the same time when I say that I acknowelege the reality that I'm one of the few people in this world that can have the chance to get an education which can better my life...
unfortunatly at this moment...there are thousands of people hoping and praying for the opportunity to have access to post-secondary education...
as I start to complain about my boredom with writing papers and exams...my life is suddently put into perspective as I realize that its not so bad to have the chance to better your life and your existence at that....

I've been doing a lot of AIESEC work latley and its been making me realize how much passion I have for the organization and how I hope to be on an MC in Africa next year. I may not make a lot of money but the expereicne that I'll get is what I need to be the community developer I want to be..I feel that and I know that...

So ....let me go back to getting my education knowing that I'm one of the few people in this world that can....
that humbles me and puts all my complaints into place ...makes me realize that life is a crazy thing...the haves and the have nots....
I wish that more of us were the haves instead of the havenots...

When I complain about school I'll come back to this idea and remind myself that I have an opportunity that many of us in this world do not....
and for anyone that reads this blog...
please remember that any time you complain about your family, the weather, you family, your job....there are peopel out there without those things......

I know that I would be a better person if I was more greatful..and sometimes its the touch of a keyboard and some words on a screeen that you need to remind you of how beautiful life is when your surrounded by books, paper, and a computer....getting your undergrad degree....

Many a times, my dear gril, we find ourselves feeling this way with our books...but then, just like you acknowledged there are many out there who donot have the opportunity and wished they had..it really takes some of us much to realised how important no matter the circumstances to throw away our books for a moment..it requires you to have a mastery of your supreme systems...cultivate virtues either from personally work which sometimes is so difficult to be done alone..I advice joining a youth organisation working on youth leadership to give you more essence of being in school...
If I may stop here: be a virteous woman!!!

hey juani.. education is a great thing for sure! But there is so much to learn from experience too! Some of the most inspirational and wise people I have met in my lifetime have never been to University.
