Lessons Matter More Than Where You Learned Them

In life, there is no "one perfect way" to live it. Every single person has their own way to live their life. The same for every levels in life, not everyone needs to go through the same process to enter a level. What I mean is, no matter where one finds him or herself, life will happen anyways.

Education is a big part of life and some were lucky to explore this part of life in good environments right from the start. Although the educational world has evolved a lot but back in those days when I was still in primary to secondary school, I'd wish I attend a big school.

I wanted to go to a big school where there were children from wealthy homes and it was all from a place of just being a child. I grew up to understand better why I had to go through school the way I did. But that's not the point, the prompt asks if I'd change my school if I were to go back.

If we're being honest, we can not tell what our lives would have turned out to be if we had attended a different school. Maybe the chances of having rich friends or wild friends today would have been high for me if I had attended the big school I was wishing for back in those days.

But if I am to look at it from the people I met in the schools I attended, I think I would change schools if I had the chance. Not because I don't appreciate the ones I met but I do know they were the kind of friends that I could get in any other school. The crazy thing is, I don't even remember much about my old friends anymore.

We all had a good time while we studied and learnt but it's all in the past now, just as it would all be in the past if it was a different school. What stays with me is the few memory I could remember and keep, the educational lessons I can still practice today and a few other things.

So in essence, I'm saying it doesn't really matter the school I go to. I'd much rather choose to be grateful for the friends I got back then and the lessons that have lived with me until today, than thinking if it would have been any different in a different school. Like I said, there's no perfection.

And I've never really have reasons to regret the schools I attended growing up, even though I knew I really wanted to attend a federal university but life took me to a school I had heard way too many bad reviews about. Still, I came out alive, unscratched and with friends I'll remember for a long time. So it doesn't matter so much to me.

I may have a different kind of memory to keep if I had attended a different school but there's no a sure way to know if it would be way better or way worse than I know now. I choose the one I know, except really, I can go back to try another school.
