01:56
homework and they don't even explain  things well it feels like I'm just wasting

127120
10000
02:17
life but why Dad why do I need to learn  all this math if I'm not going to use

tired and empty every day feels the  same i am tired very tired i try that  
17
166640
14000
03:00
i really do but I sit in class and  sometimes I feel like I'm just a
18
180640
5600
03:06
robot they want us all to be the  same if I don't get a good grade  
19
186240
8240
03:14
I feel like a failure am I no son you're  not You're not a failure never say that
20
194480
11760
03:26
please then why does the system make  me feel that way why do I feel like  
21
206240
13040
03:39
like I'm not enough why can't I just  learn the things that really matter to
22
219280
6880
03:46
me like how to be happy or how to  deal with stress or how to understand
23
226160
9520
03:55
myself i wish I had all the answers but  I don't i went through school too and
24
235680
10400
04:06
yes many of the things you said  are true the system is not perfect
25
246080
13120
04:19
sometimes it feels all out of touch  and not everyone learns the same
26
259200
6720
04:25
way but in school you know  it's not just about books and
27
265920
9120
04:35
grades no then what is it about that  tell me because I really don't know
28
275040
12160
04:48
well it's about learning how to think how to be
29
288960
5280
04:54
patient how to deal with things you  don't like it's about building habits
30
294240
10720
05:04
discipline it's not always about the  subjects they are tools some useful some not
31
304960
11040
05:18
but what you gain is more than  that that's what you need to
32
318720
5280
05:24
understand but it feels useless  sometimes i don't feel happy i
33
324000
11200
05:35
don't I feel like like I'm stuck in  something that wasn't made for me
34
335200
10080
05:48
and maybe you are and that's  okay to feel son you're not
35
348480
6560
05:55
alone many young people feel this  way today the world is changing
36
355040
9760
06:04
fast but schools change slowly they  try to prepare you for the future
37
364800
9920
06:18
but sometimes they don't even know  what that future looks like that's the
38
378240
6640
06:24
truth but let me tell you something  important you don't have to love
39
384880
9760
06:34
school you don't have to be the best  student you don't have to follow the system
40
394640
9520
06:44
perfectly but you do need to finish  what you start that is really
41
404160
10320
06:54
important because later when you want to  do something new you'll have more options
42
414480
11680
07:08
so what am I supposed to do  then i should just accept
43
428080
6320
07:14
it no I'm not saying that i'm  saying play the game for now
44
434400
10160
07:24
but never stop dreaming of a better way  use the school for what it can give you
45
444560
10400
07:37
learn what you can but also  learn outside school read
46
457600
6880
07:44
create question everything be  curious think for yourself remember
47
464480
9520
07:54
that but that I don't want to  feel like a machine anymore
48
474000
10400
08:07
then don't simple remember a school is  only one part of your life it should not  
49
487280
11440
08:18
control your whole identity you are more than your
50
498720
4880
08:23
grades you are more than your test  scores please never forget that
51
503600
10000
08:33
son sometimes it feels like everyone  only cares about that i feel
52
513600
10560
08:44
that because that's what the system  teaches people to value but in this
53
524160
9200
08:53
house we don't do that we care  about you your heart your smile your
54
533360
10160
09:03
dreams listen if a school is hard I'll  be there if you fail a test I'll be
55
543520
10640
09:14
there if you cry I'll hold you  nothing will ever make me love you
56
554160
9360
09:23
less thank you Dad i think I really needed to hear
57
563520
9520
09:33
that you're not alone i know life  can feel heavy sometimes but you're
58
573040
10400
09:43
strong and you're not broken this  is just one part of the journey and
59
583440
9600
09:53
remember you will choose your own path one  day school doesn't decide who you are you
60
593040
10560
10:03
do i want to do something meaningful  in the future i just don't know what
61
603600
9600
10:13
yet that's okay you don't have  to know right now most people
62
613200
8960
10:22
don't keep asking questions  try new things meet people make
63
622160
10400
10:32
mistakes learn from them and most of all don't  lose your fire the world needs people like
64
632560
10400
10:42
you yeah I get it so should  I go to school today i am not
65
642960
9440
10:52
sure that's your choice but remember  sometimes we do things not because we love
66
652400
10160
11:02
them but because they open doors one  day you'll walk through the right
67
662560
9440
11:12
one okay i'll go but not for the great for
68
672000
10480

69
682480
9840
11:32
