I want to share with you what I feel an ideal school should be like, as far as the student body is concerned. Of course, the courses offered should be diverse and of high quality, but when it all boils down the students themselves are in control of what they learn. We should be more accepting of new ideas and try different things all of the time. It is due to innovation that the United States is currently a leader among nations in the technology industry. I am a huge advocate of diversity because I know that, through diversity, new ideas are formed when people of different backgrounds clash.
Culture shock is technology's lifeblood.
Besides including more diverse cultures in my life, I try to be my own person, more independent. For example, when I go to a dance at my school, I go prepared. Not always with fancy glowsticks, fresh outfits, or new dance moves like many of my friends, but with a goal. Like many teens, I sometimes find expressing myself difficult. So, to release pent-up energy and feelings, I stop listening to my brain and let my body move to the music.
