The Chains We Wear
"We get used to the chains we wear, and we miss them when removed", is a very symbolic quoted from John Dewey in the novel The Child and The Curriculum. An example of this is that when I was in elementary school, I hated it and found it to be just a big jail to hold us. I always used too pretend that I was a secret agent and that I was being held captive in this big jail. I tried too find escape routes from boring classes which I did by asking to go the bathroom and not come back for 20 minutes.. However, I didn't realize that the time I spent there was limited and during this time I formed many friendships with alot of people. I also didn't realize that elementary school was going too be the most enjoyable time in my life. After I graduated, I realized that I was never going too see my friends again because they were all going there separate ways. Well after the "chains were removed", I did miss them and I still do.

Nice to see six posts, Syed, but writing more for each would be even better.
The more, the better (basic rule in this class).
Interesting post. I felt the same way in elementary school, as far as just being stuck or trapped for years. But it's the friends you make that get you through it and leave you with good memories, and that's something I didn't realize either until later on.
