Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.
This blog post is about how we get so caught up in the numbers and the grades and fitting in at school that we are missing the purpose. We need to focus more on how we get there and how we overcome struggles so that we can succeed when we get out of school. When you work on something in school you are so focused on following the exact expectations that you forget why you had to write this paper in the first place. I think that the main event of school is trying to figure out how to succeed for you and how to power through things that are hard and how to keep going. The main event of school is finding out how to use perseverance and courage in small situations before you have to use them in larger ones. Dealing with the failure of a test will help you prepare for much harder things, like job loss or death. The struggles you have in school will not go away anytime soon so you might as well learn to deal with them now.
