 I sat here, staring blankly at the computer screen, trying to come up with something I believe in. It was disappointing, for I had realized our beliefs are controlled our entire life, and found myself coming up with more questions than answers. Its a major mood dampener to see other students strolling about the library; some who will stand up and make a difference and others who will live their life oblivious to the facts; the corruption around us.

It's time to stop enveloping trust into individuals deciding our future who corrupt the systems our society has in place. It takes months--even years to find administrators to make financial, political, and social decisions in school districts. First, our symbol of power, our superintendent of schools, provided lobster dinners for friends and family. Second, a trusted athletic director, who, I personally trusted, and had been leading programs for over 20 years, and an audit finds his burial of athletic expenses now? Is the goal of our education system telling us what //not // to do in life? Or should students just ignore it and create our own goals of power and prosperity? As a democratic society, it’s time to address these issues, find new and improved goals. ​
