My school announced me as valedictorian and then took it away because the board of education revealed a paper that said valedictorian needs to be chosen based on 2nd marking periods result (the 7th semester of high school). This paper was meant to be applied from 1999 but the whole school was unaware of it for the last 28 or more years. The school has been choosing valedictorian based on 3rd marking period result. According to that I was 1st, so the school announced me as valedictorian. But the parents of the student who was first in second marking period brought the paper to the school's attention. The student's dad is also in the board of education and they are pressuring the school to follow that paper's rule. For the last 28 years and maybe more, the school was unaware of this rule but when it's my turn, suddenly the rules came to light. Everything was done, my speech, my essay for valedictorian breakfast bla bla bla. Even for the second marking period, some of my courses were not added and no explanation was given for that. The principal apologised (literally begged) and said the higher ups are just being too pushy. And none of the teachers or studentd were given the explanation as to why the valedictorian changed in like a few weeks after declaration. And everyone keeps asking me what I did and everything is so fucking ass right now... But i guess at least I will be graduating as first of my graduation class and that's the final transcript that will go to my colleges...
For my AP Lit class we read this book called "A Clockwork Orange" (aparantly it's the most banned book in the U.S.). One of the main themes of the book was 'free will'. According to the author, to have free will means to let someone choose both, good and the bad for themselves by their own judgement. No one is absolute good or absolute bad. And nor can one force someone into those roles. Forcing someone into being good is a violation of free will (according to the book). And from my life experience, i wonder if i'll be giving up my free will if instead of bed rotting, sleeping the whole fucking day and starving, i follow whatever my mom says, get up, shower, eat, socialize, do work, pray to her God and all the stuff.
this is a safe space(for weirdos). I will now admit. whenever i do any challenging questions i get turned on. My first time experiencing hormones as a teenager was also cause of a math test. Not just math actually. Organic chemistry too. I get turned on when Im studying something difficult and lengthy. I never understood why someone might not like studying. It physically feels good to me.
