I believe our surroundings can affect us by a great deal.
And I'm proud to be standing where I am.
Maslow's definition of self-actualization includes one attribute, or ability - personal moral codex. Independent from requirements, expectations, social standing.

A large percent of youth don't give a shit about school.
Okay, I get that.
Only thing there is to be judged about that is WHY and HOW.
No need to be disrespectful, aggressive and just behave like animals.
And if you're gonna piss on school, you gotta have a good reason.
I must honestly say, that I was kind of afraid of dropping out myself.
And I do have reasons: I played in theater, attended a model united nations conference, wrote a short story for competition, have a job.
A large success, all of those things: theater turned out great and I quite enjoyed my role of the main character. Model UN is a GREAT thing. I can't say enough how much I appreciate it. I want to start a tradition of attending those conferences. The collective gathered around those things - simply amazing. And the literary competition? Well, I'm invited to the award ceremony. Czech president's wife is to hand over the prizes and I might as well grab one while I'm there.
But because of all these things school stayed behind. I managed to pass all my exams but one. Written French exam. Today I had the second try.
And I passed!!!
Now there's barely anything that can stop me from going to America for the first semester of next school year. Hooray!
I've taken up too much, I know that.
But it turned out absolutely perfect.
Which proves one thing: we can do whatever the fuck we want if we're passionate about it enough.
