Enduring Through Struggle And Stress

Improved Essays
Welcome to our society Where teens are depressed And Our students are stressed

Living in times of political unrest
And we’re made to think we can never be the best
Always told to do the same as the rest
Hard to make a difference when majority rules
Stay in schools they say you’ll never lose
Just stay in debt and don’t detest
Like a slave in this game we called life
Enduring through struggle and strife

    Overcoming Adversity

    The adversities I have been challenged with in life taught me many lessons about myself, and who I want to become. I learned that hard work will always pay off, that sometimes you need to accept the things that you cannot change, and most importantly that you are never going through something alone. I have been blessed with an excellent pair of teachers over the past four years, and through their guidance I have learned to overcome adversity. Mr. Burdess, and Mrs. Bazyk have always taught their students that there is a lesson to be learned from everything, and that it's okay to lean on peers for support. It is my personal belief that my success in school is a result of the guidance I have received in overcoming the adversities that life has…

    As a result of Americans’ disregard and hypocrisy, the educational system decreases in societal value. Furthermore, the citizens fail to recognize the benefits that result from a well-developed educational system; such as the power to think critically and to comprehend the true meaning of freedom. In Benjamin Barber’s article, “America Skips School,” Barber discusses how society continues to undermine the progress made in classrooms, labeling the educational system as irrelevant. The people within American society justify their actions with well-meant intentions, however, they rarely act on those intentions. As a result, American teens recognize the lack of value placed on education and therefore learn by the example of their leaders, who place…

    Lisa J. Crockett and Rainer K. Silbereisen discuss the pressure put on young people without the proper education in their quote, “Like other phases of the life span, adolescence is shaped by the sociocultural context in which it occurs. The skills young people are expected to master, the kinds of choices they must make, and the settings they negotiate during the adolescent years are prescribed by social institutions (e-g., the educational system) and by shared expectations concerning the requirements for success in adulthood (Crockett, 1997).” Children need proper education in how to navigate through real life and especially to lead a much needed social movement. There will always be people who want to tear down society and have power over all individuals, but we must find a way to kick-start a movement in the young hearts of America to create a strong future for all. There are many changes needed to be made and we can start by informing teachers and parents of the lack of social change in our…
