At one point or another, we have all went to school. I am sure you have heard about how important it is to get good grades or to get a good education. But have you ever wondered why this idea is emphasized so much? Sometimes we may think that we go to school for no reason or that school is a waste of time. But have you ever thought about how much school teaches you? We learn so much, not only about ourselves but also about the world and everything it has to offer. We learn the basics, like the ABC’s or how to do simple math, but we also learn things that are not always taught inside of the classroom. We learn how to carry ourselves as people, we learn how to communicate and work with others and learn how to manage our time better. All these skills can then be used out in the real world.
No matter what stage of your schooling you’re in, you have likely felt some sort of discouragement or unwillingness when you are overloaded with work. Personally, as a high school student l, I still question myself and ask why I’m spending so much time on schoolwork when I could be out doing something more fun? To fight this, I often scroll the internet and find myself reading motivational quotes that help inspire me to persevere. In this process, I have found that quotes can be very powerful, so I’ve collected a handful of quotes that I hope will help you as much as they helped me.
