A Life Long Lesson

A+Life+Long+Lesson

Many may feel stuck, but in what ways do you feel so? Many say to just push through; get through this rough bump and you’ll be rewarded. But when, this bump has lasted months and I’ve made it out on the other side before and it’s never felt like this. I’ve lost weight, started to study outside of school, and found a girlfriend to soon make my wife, but then why am I stuck? I’ve been pushing a pushing, but have only sunk deeper and deeper. I have begun to believe that my goals do not lie on a mountain like many say, but lie in quicksand. The difference is that a mountain can always be climbed (whether now or later) but quicksand isn’t a climb, but rather a cry for help. You do not pursue the depths of quicksand, for you know it is wrong despite your infatuation.

Hello my name is Jackson Caltuna. This is my 6th year attending Conrad Schools of Science, I chose the Bio- Tech pathway and chose Chinese as my language. When im not at school or doing school work I enjoy admiring and driving cars. I don’t care if they are slow or fast, but they need to be sceaming. Furthermore, from styles of cars to philosophy I carry a hefty influence of japanese culture. Which includes the influence of art, philosophy, city pop, music, etc.
