The following post can be offensive and I warn those of you who are reading to do so at your own risk. I have freedom of speech as given to me by The Constitution of the United States.
I’m sorry, but did I fall asleep for a few years? I didn’t get a memo that being an arrogant, skin-headed, self-centered, self-serving, prick means you get rewarded for it. I’m amazed, astounded if you will, that the incompetence I must deal with each day in school somehow results in rewards.
Alright, time for some context. I went to an awards and scholarships ceremony for my high school. I am a graduation senior in high school, for some more context. I was listening to my school principal listing off all the different scholarships and all the different college funds, and I couldn’t help but notice that all the jocks, the very same ones who came running to me for all the answers before tests, the ones who kept asking me what the right answer was for the homework, how to do certain problems on each individual worksheet, how a certain theory worked that was explained in class. FUCKING EVERYTHING. ANYTHING!
Pardon me for being the one to ask questions this time, but I don’t understand how these incompetent, lazy, testosterone spewing, assholes get money, THOUSANDS OF FUCKING DOLLARS IN THEIR POCKETS, for that kind of attitude!
I know for a fact, that I work harder than each and every individual one of those dickwads and simply because people know their name means they get more than me.
It’s also not just that! There were sports scholarships, club scholarships, and scholarships for just knowing someone. So to clarify, just because my interests lie somewhere else, just because I can’t know everyone, and just because I signed up for the wrong sports teams means I, along with many other deserving people, don’t get any sort of reward for hard work.
Perhaps I’m bigoted and privileged. Perhaps I should ignore them, like I’ve been more or less ignored by the people with more money than my entire life has been worth thus far. Perhaps I should be happy with my sheet of paper with the “Love to learn English” award.
Perhaps.
