Funny because I'm still a kid.
Haha.
Haha?
Haha!
Let me tell you something right off the get-go before we continue on with this post. I'm a fan of letting people do what they want. "You reap what you sow." Reasoning? From personal experience, hearing, "Don't do this, don't do that." just isn't effective. So I'm more into the let-people-make-mistakes kind of thing.
Side Note: I did a bit of searching and I couldn't really find a single, solid, word for that kind of thing. The let-people-make-mistakes thing. Anyhow, I suppose that I can try to make a word for this. The amount of Latin I know is literally next to none, yet I'm still being naive and I'm going to try. Upon finding that "freedom" in Latin is "libertas" and that mistake in Latin is "errat", I'm just going to mash those two up and call "freedom of mistake" liberrat. I don't even know what I'm doing, but hey, let's have some fun with a dead language.
Back to the actual topic. I strongly support giving people liberrat. I strongly disagree with people who try to keep their loved ones close by and sheltered from everything else. Yes, I can say firsthand that making a mistake is difficult. For example. Taking chemistry was a big mistake. I suffered my fair bit throughout the course, but it's over now. I learned things, and met some great friends along the way.
Biggest lesson was that I needed to actually care about my courses now. In grade eight everything was just super easy. You can imagine the transition from a grade eight level course to a grade 11/12 course would be kind of rocky. But now I feel a lot more confident in my ability to achieve and rise to the occasion. I can't exactly wipe off the blotch that chemistry put on me, but I can try to make it fade away.
So what is the point I'm trying to get across to you? Well, when I hear kids are striving for high marks and are skipping multiple grades, yes, they make me feel a bit stupid, but I do think that I am obligated to kind of encourage them on. So go on. Take that liberrat and use it.
Yes, That Was Weird
Really I don't know what to do with "liberrat". It could quite possibly just die out here in this post, but I think it had a pretty decent run. Today was extremely hot. Planning to go out for a walk after this post. I'm in dire need of a haircut.
I'm an 8 today. Nothing really happened, even though it was Canada Day. Anyhow, happy Canada Day and whatnot. 'Till the next post. Ja ne~
