James Mason Wood said, “Education today, more than ever before, must see clearly the dual objectives: education for living and education for making a living.” When people go to school because they have to, then it is only education for living.

I am super excited for this year and can’t wait for your class because you are a super nice teacher and seem really great. I’ve been at Pine Lake Prep since second grade and I have really loved it ever since. High school is definitely different than what I thought it would be like, but overall I think it’s super fun and by far my favorite building out of all of them. It might seem weird but truly I like school because I can show how organized I am with my school supplies. Shopping for school is probably one of my most favorite things to do over the summer. I like it so much because there are so many different kinds of pencils or pens to choose from. That makes it super fun for me to just adventure around the whole store searching for all these types of supplies.

Overall I feel that school is just a really important priority for me because you’ll need it for college and through life.
