Like this comment from a person named, Sayaka who wrote on rinaldimunir.wordpress talking about Erica Goldsons speech. She speaks out much of my thought, months ago when i was graduated. i feel sorry for my self at that time. i was a kind of student at a level of quite ‘balance’. do many activities outside class, and i’m a kind of ‘so-so’ student in my class. but still, i don’t really know what i want to do after i graduated. and it was sad. Dear little brother and sister, you have to learn something because you want it, even though the condition tells you to do it as an obligation as a student, try to accept it, and want it then live in it, love it.. it’ll someday help your passion grow higher and richer. let’s just be wise to life :) And these words impress me now For those of you out there that must continue to sit in desks and yield to the authoritarian ideologies of instructors, do not be disheartened. You still have the opportunity to stand up, ask questions, be critical, and create your own perspective. Demand a setting that will provide you with intellectual capabilities that allow you to expand your mind instead of directing it. Demand that you be interested in class. Demand that the excuse, “You have to learn this for the test” is not good enough for you. Education is an excellent tool, if used properly, but focus more on learning rather than getting good grades.
