This was my graduating class. Johnathan is the valedictorian's name, quiet guy but brilliant of course (I can recall in the 4th grade he would be sitting on the bench during recess solving the rubik's cube back to back to back). I remember his speech quite clearly. Shortly after he started speaking, it went dead silent, everybody seemed astounded, listening intently. I went to school with Johnathan for all of grade school and was never really friends with him but I felt proud in that moment. And if you're wondering, yes, nearly all of the teaching staff on that stage behind him did NOT look happy lol. Anyway I had to type that out, a wave of nostalgia hit me. You understand.

Life throws tools at you. Education's benefit is that, it funnels specific tools. Either you catch it and do great things with it? Find new ways to use it. Or you let it hit the ground or fly right pass you. You may even intentionally try to dodge it completely because you let one smack u in the face cause u missed it coming. It comes down to "How you think." Less of "What you think." How you apply the knowledge available.

*THIS* is why as an Asian, I have so much respect for the West. Their culture of questioning things and encouraging excellence allows them to make mistakes but improve and learn from it. Similarly, it's hardly a surprise that that the very thing he talked about, the GPA=LIFE mindset, is more prevalent in Asia than anywhere else, and why it's no surprise that we don't see many new discoveries or technological advancements originating from Asia.

His awareness of systemic issues in education perhaps makes him a good advocate for students' interests. That's different than being a fitting class rep, though. A good class rep is someone who can speak from a shared set of experiences with his/her classmates about what their time in highschool together meant. He gave the most responsible speech that someone like him in his position could give and it took an admirable combination of guts and humility to give it, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a person at least as socially aware who's also thought about all of this before. I actually wouldn't be surprised if the speaker consulted with someone like that. (edited for grammar, because we're talking about school.)

This young man is very humble. I respect that.

You going to tell me a C student in high school who joins every club, is the captain of the football team, and take photos for the school newspaper, and was the president of the student body, should be admitted into Harvard business school?

Mao of The Zombies As the person who gets A's a lot in class, I feel discouraged when some people say I'm really good or smart. I see myself as someone who just wants to get good grades in everything. Although there are some subjects I like a lot like Reading, Science or Math there's always that one thought coming back to me saying I need to get an A in this lesson. To me that doesn't allow students to unlock their true potential. I want learning to be something that you can actually have fun in, something that you can actually learn not just "learn" it nowadays (remembering things basically) I see students everyday that seem way better than me always getting in trouble like this guys said. Most people just get bored on how school "teaches" and school overall. Most teachers follow the districts rules on what to teach rather than what they want to teach. Also how students can't learn what they want to learn not allowing students to express their true self to others. You just end up forgetting most information you were taught in the end after that big test.
