5 Questions I Have For The Teachers Of My Senior Year
Sue Gober

Hello, teachers of my last year of high school. Most of you I like. Some of you, eh. As you have spent all of my senior year asking me questions, I would like to ask you, my "eh" teachers, a few questions.

1. Why do you hate me?

Please tell me why you hate me. You obviously do if you decided to give me projects and ten-page papers over the weekend of prom. Not Cool.

2. Why are you doing it wrong?

I have worked my butt off the entire year in your class. I took my AP test; I’m done; I’ve clocked out. Not only do you hate me, but you are also doing your job completely wrong. After AP testing (especially senior year), you’re not supposed to teach. Right now, I should be having parties and watching Monster University. If anything, teach me something interesting. Life, movies, and food are all acceptable topics to” teach” me about. I did not take years of AP tests for you to ruin this cycle of easy schooling after the tests.

3. Why do you have senioritis?

I get it, you can’t wait for the school year to end, but isn’t this your job? I would love to have four day weekends until the year ends too, but I think you need to calm down a bit. While you’re at home making yourself some pancakes, I’m sitting in your class wondering how I’m supposed to do all this work you assigned me if you’re not here to tell me what you want.

4. Why don't you know how to say my name?

Whether I’ve been in your class for four year or just this one, I’m pretty sure you should know how to say it. You shouldn’t have to double check with one of my other teachers to make sure you don’t mispronounce it at awards night.

5. Why are you a teacher?

I’m pretty sure you hate kids. You genuinely don’t like us, and I’m very confused at your career choice.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
