I'm blogging again after a long time; not because i want to resurrect this dying blog of mine, but i really need to get this off my chest. I know MI may not be exactly the most prestigious school in the country (in fact, it's far from that). Nevertheless, i think it's wrong of you to be so blatantly skeptical of the school and what it has to offer. You have no right to air your opinions because you're not even from the school in the first place; who are you to judge what is good and not good for others? And to all those who have had a bad experience in MI and left subsquently, i implore you not to spread untruths around, making others (i.e. current/ex-students of MI) bear the brunt of your comments. While it is true somewhat that the environment in MI may not be an ideal one for studying, i still hold firm to my belief that a person's attitude is influenced not only be environment, but also by personal beliefs and circumstances. If you think that you are above the MI standard, go ahead, leave. But don't attempt to boost your ego by hurting a school's reputation and making others bear the consquences of your irresponsible actions. After all, it is YOUR choice whether or not YOU want to study. If YOU want it badly enough, why should anything else stop you? Of course, exceptions do exist, especially where a student's circumstances come into question. That is, of course, understandable. If there are any current/ex-students of MI reading this, let me just say something. If you think that the atmosphere in MI is so dismal and discouraging and not ideal for studying, then i suggest you blame the people who go off and broadcast their opinions to the world and package them as facts. THIS is the real reason why MI will never have a good reputation. If anyone needs proof, i have seen, among my own schoolmates in MI, people who never give up even when the odds are against them, and people who have failed and picked themselves up. At least they are not blind to the realities of this world and are willing to keep fighting on. As for you, poor little girl, perhaps you are too young still to understand what this world requires from you. Your lackadaisical attitude is not going to get you anywhere. Before you start to look down on others and their decisions in life, i urge you to take a good look at your own morals (what is left of them, anyway), and seriously start to question if your ways will get you far in life. If i were to continue about your misdemeanors (which everyone is aware of, let me assure you), i could possibly fill up an entire book. That being said, if you think my words were too harsh and pointed that day, then yes, it was meant to be that way. Your silence is proof that my words hit a raw nerve.I hope for your sake that you wake up soon and realise that this world is a lot harder to survive in than you believe. Maybe this is too much to ask for from someone of your age; fair enough. Then maybe you could start by ditching that sucky attitude of yours for something more positive. Nobody owes you anything so stop acting as though the world is against you. And also, given your age, learn to shut up and speak up at the right times. It'll save you from being on the receiving end of unpleasant words (and also from unnecessarily embarrassing yourself).I've met many other people your age in the past 1 month or so, who may indeed be young, but their fighting spirit and zest for life despite multiple challenges puts me, many other older teenagers and even young adults, to shame. Learn from them. It'll do you good.
