Deciding Our Fate

Have you known what you will be or where you will go? In general, we are led by our parents to attend school to prepare us what we will be in the future. School is assumed to be the ultimate place where people obtain knowledge of basic sciences and there are levels for it ranging from primary to higher ones. But apparently, what school does to us is just setting similar standards of expertise which is, actually, somewhat less proper to our need or talent.

In school, teachers teach us basic lessons of sciences and socials and in each semester they will ask us to do the final exams to measure the extent of our understanding on what teachers had taught us. We can assume that what teachers do at school is just choking us lessons and giving us tests that not all of us can fully understand. And unfortunately, we who can not stand such standards will be told as a person who will not have bright future. Sadly, they are not aware that a person’s proficiency at school can not determine his or her fate.

Our school grades depend on the exam results, whereas it is almost impossible to expect the results of the exam to be all great as teachers have generalized the lessons to the whole students in class despite their differences. In fact, all of us has different capacity of brain and way of thinking. Therefore, the exam results can not be taken for granted that they determine our fate.

In brief, our differences cannot simply be measured by the school and its formal exams. The grades we get from the exam will not affect where our lives will go. That’s why it is we ourselves who have to do our best to decide our own fate, not the school or the exam.
