school, not peer pressured ones, but the risks that improve yourself as a person. These experiences will be part of you and will help shape your personality since those risks you take never leave you. A risk I took was joining my school’s junior trivia team. Being a grade nine student who was the only one not in an advanced placement class, of course I was the weakest member, however despite that, the experience was worthwhile because I made a friend and I learned to have better time…

certain point, something which I would likely have done given the chance, but considering the value of education as priming students to teach themselves later in life rather than solely for the purpose of learning what often appears to be useless trivia has called this into question. It would almost seem that the subject matter itself is almost entirely irrelevant so long as there is at least sufficient variety and challenge in it to allow students to grow as individuals, yet at the same time…
