The End's Not Near, It's Here

Today marks my final entry in my urban journey travelogue. Throughout this semester, I have gained a new appreciation for school. This class has definitely helped me realize I am where I belong, for now. With so many friends and family members dealing with harsh realities in their lives, I was able to appreciate the simplicity of school. We often put so much emphasis on our school lives, that we forget to take sometime for ourselves. While school is very important to me, I think it is equally as important to take time for personal desires.

Throughout my volunteer experience my eyes were opened to young kids from all walks of life. I was able to see how the library, which something the rest of us consider trivial,  is so important to their day to day lives. It is reassuring to know that it is not only an escape, but one where they are able to gain infinite knowledge. In terms of what I was talking about in the previous paragraph, I believe we all need to find our own escape, especially in urban learning. There are a lot of flawless in the systems; however, I think with the right teachers with positive attitude, anything is possible.
