Students and Work (Opinion)

Chris Black

As the years and generations go by, people of the U.S.A, especially high school students become more and more lazy. Students show up late to class, don’t do their homework and they just do not care. Grades are no longer important to students; becoming educated to students is stupid and lame. Hello people, wake up! You are going to be working for the rest of your life, so get over it. Life isn’t a free ride especially in the work place.
If you show up to work late you will be fired, it’s that simple. If you don’t do your work the manager isn’t just going to slap you on the wrist and say “Oh it’s ok, just work harder next time.” You will be fired on the spot and your manager will just move on to the next person in line who is willing to work. My advice, try and build habits that will actually help in the future.
Also, all you people who blame others for your unemployment, grow up, take some responsibility and admit it’s your fault. All of your habits start now and if you do not work now, especially during times like history day you will not succeed.
The thing that I hear about every year from underclassman is how horrible history day is. “There is too much work,” or “its taking too much of your time.” Well I say that’s bull. All your teachers are looking for is effort and your best work. So this is the first time you actually have a standard, and you can’t turn in crap and call it a good project. SUCK IT UP! Do the work and move on to more projects and papers, working as hard or harder on those. If you are jealous of someone with a higher grade and all you’re doing is griping and complaining, then that will never change. Put forth the effort you know you can, try you’re hardest and see where that gets you in life. Stop being lazy, get to class on time, pay attention, and learn something. That is what school is for.
