I found writing from young angsty faith in her "skateboarder/scene" phase from god knows what year (2007???) and I've been cringing for five days:
You’d think after all the things teachers say, kids would get it. From what I’ve seen for my share of life has been teachers trying so hard to bang all this knowledge and crap in our heads. You’d think that, if they banged enough, it would eventually stay, right…? Wrong. I don’t know why they even try to get us kids to memorize the stuff they do. Even the highest grade-average student is going to forget everything the teacher said, eventually.
Actually, teachers are right about one thing. No student is better than the other. Well, that’s not entirely true. The only thing a high grade student has that’s better than the lower student is a better memory. (or notes) Since everything the teacher says is eventually forgotten, that means no one is ever smarter than another person. At least, that’s how I see it. Now, any kid reading this wouldn’t think much of it, right? They’d just go on in life knowing one more thing about one more kid. Adults? Nope, They have to bug and pick about it, and turn it into something logical.
Have you ever heard the sound a skateboard makes when it hits the ground hard? Most people say that they hate that sound and it drives their ears nuts. Me? I love that sound. By now you’re probably thinking,” And what the freak does this have to do with this story?” Well, I can’t really answer that myself. But if I had to think really hard about it, I’d say that it meant that… well… that sound represents what the person who’s riding it is feeling. If it makes a hard and scratchy sound, that person’s having a hard time. If it comes out loud and clear, the person knows what they’re aiming for. Mine? My sound always came out both. Loud and scratchy.
why was i like this
