School's Life lessons

Douglas Soccio's article really hit home with me. I've always felt inside that
school had many life lessons, and that attending has helped me to grow not only
intellectually but emotionally. I've developed relationships with so many people,
and i've learned to appreciate anything i can about a class, whether its the subject, the people in the class or the opportunities i get in the class.
Ive met so many valuable people and realized what it is in them that i like about pretty much all of society, whether its kindess, generosity, understanding, open-mindedness.
I feel like school itself is a miniature society. I have really loved my school experience because i've realized so many things about life itself. Making mistakes is how one learns, and how sometimes you have to take time out for yourself, and people will understand. That maybe trying your hardest doesn't mean that things come out the way you hope, but you still reward yourself for the effort, which is just as good. People in school appreciate life so much more, like when a student dies there is always a memorial and an assembly and people mourning, and even though that's sad, its so wonderful that people realize that life isn't just life, its a gift.
You learn time management, and you learn it quickly. Failure isn't an option, because even if you get a big ol' F on a report card, you still hav to try again to succeed.
