me in order to receive a paper document that certifies that I'm capable of work but i can ask that I think you may be not just the work i'm a finger and advanced whatever someone who is with a habitation the system setup before but now I was doing what I was told to the extremes in class and doodle 2 later become a great artist I to take notes to become a great test while others come to class without their homework done because they were reading about an

interest of theirs I never missed an assignment while others are creating music and writing there i decided to do extra credit even I even know I didn't even need it so I wonder why did I even want this position sure I earned it but what will come of it when i leave educational institutions

own successful forever lost I had no clue about what I want to do with my life I have no it should because i saw every subject of study as work and I felt that every subject just through the purpose of selling and not learning any quite frankly I'm very scared anti-god overtired schoolteacher and activists critical compulsory schooling thirds we would encourage the best qualities of beautifulness curiosity
