I'm 14 and I actually like school. Here's why.
It’s been a while since my last post, so I wanted to give an update on what I’m up to now.
In my introduce yourself post, which you can find here, I mentioned that I was going to check out “a unique school in our area that gives students more freedom to decide what to learn.”
I am currently enrolled at the school, and after a semester of attending, I can honestly say that I love it. I have no idea how I went on at my previous schools after being here.
The school gives you the opportunity to pick all your subjects. This way, I’m doing things that I actually l want to do at school and it makes it so much more enjoyable and beneficial to my education.
I love to play music, whether it’s playing drums, guitar, piano, or singing. I’m even going to play the banjo at an upcoming performance at school which I’m looking forward to. I also enjoy playing sport, including tennis and futsal (indoor soccer). My other hobbies include reading, and of course, gaming.
I really enjoy my other subjects too. Some of my electives include entrepreneurship, self defence (where we mostly spar), media and a personal fitness class that I need to arrive at school a period early for three times a week.
It’s taken me a while to figure out what I want to do in my media class, which brought me back to steemit. Why not write on steemit in my media class?
I’ll be trying to do a lot more posting in the future. I’m not really sure what to tell you to expect, as I’ll just be experimenting a bit at first and testing which of my ideas are good and which are not so good. I may post some of my work from my English class, maybe some videos of me performing at school, or just other things that I’m thinking about in general.
I can’t wait to see what the future of steemit holds and to be a part of it, maybe even getting some fellow students at school to try it out.
Thanks for reading and I would really appreciate it if you followed me.
Good work, I am sure you will do well in school as long as you keep that attitude. Good job!
Thanks haha I'll try
Looks like your school have some amazing subjects. Some of us had to learn it at home! :)
I hope you will do great!
Thanks! Yeah the school is great because it prepares us for the future much better than traditional education.
Hi crypticus - you are very talented mate - good on you. I have added you to the TEAM AUSTRALIA members register on request of your friend @jasonstaggers - keep up the great posts mate. Are you from Melbourne as well?
Thanks for that I really appreciate it. Yes I do live in Melbourne.
Welcome to Steemit. My son @frobear is also 14 I'm sure he'd love to connect with you.
Awesome that'd be great. I'll follow him.
Hi, upvoted and followed.
cheers :)
You have a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of potential with this attitude. Keep up the good work and stay focused! Welcome to steemit, I have a feeling you are going to do very well here.
Thanks a lot mate that's really encouraging :)
For sure! And since you are a musician you REALLY need to check out the weekly open mic event on here hosted by @luzcypher because it is a great opportunity for musicians on the platform.
Definitely that's sounds great I'll give it a look
Absolutely, you're very smart to start here and also to be able to play music!
Thanks for that, I'm excited to know about steemit while it's still in its early stages.
