I get asked so many times; "What is the point?" My answer in class always follows the lines of because you need to, because it will help you in the future, because it looks good. It's all following the idea that one day it will make a difference to the way you live your life.
My answer in my heart is I don't actually know - i'm surprised they haven't noticed that empty glaze behind my eyes as I answer. I don't know if I'll ever know. What's the point of good qualifications and an education? Yes, it gets you into further education, or gets you a job (or perhaps not in the current economic climate) but other than that it's pointless. Work and education is not the key to happiness, but love is. Love, happiness, hope... all those emotions that are related to the bad ones of sorrow, sadness, disbelief... Still... without love nothing is worth living for.
Run children, follow your hearts... but if you must, feed your minds.
