When I grow up, I want to open a school where I teach the students how to deal with life. How to love themselves and others in return, how to get over losing someone and how to deal with a special person's death. I want the students to know how to accept their flaws, know their mistakes, apologize and admit when they are wrong. I want to let them know when hang onto something and when to let go of it, when to give up(yes, sometimes it is a choice) and when to keep going. I want the students to practice art and music, maybe knitting and cooking too. It should be a place where what is inside its fenced borders is as exactly the same as what is beyond the borderlines. I don't know why everyone focus on the typical routine of "education" that it reach the point where some weak students commit suicides because of a tough exam.
Back in high and middle school, I studied English, Arabic, History, Physics, Biology and the rest of the science courses. I studied music and art, or let's say we pretended to be studying them. I am not speaking of extremely expensive and top schools in Egypt, I am talking about the normal schools which I am still sure the majority of the population still can't afford.
I question myself too many What Ifs. What if I was good with art but school didn't even bother? What if I was so good with the violin or my fingertips were too magical that I should have been a pianist? As for me, I know music/drawing or art in general can change a person and make them better, so why not?
I never thought of needing "Math" or "History" in real life, but I needed strength and self love. I needed self-confidence and independence. I needed those things that I couldn't give enough attention to while I was busy trying to solve that sophisticated mathematical equation which I can't remember right now while typing this post.
Anyway, education is still important but everything else is still important in a way too.
(Some of you might mistaken what I want to launch for a shrink, but no. Even if? What's with this society and how parents think of a shrink as a partial disbelief in God. I could be a strong believer but still need some physiological/medical help).
