I Want a Student

I belong to the group of people called students. I am a student.  Not only am I a student, but a learned master of multitasking. All of my peers are also students as well. We tend to all complain about the significant lack of sleep we are getting, the struggles of completing our unimaginable amount of homework, and saying, “I’m literally so done right now” about twenty times a day. Still with the tremendous amount of challenges that we young adults face, I too want a student. Why do I want a student?

I would like to go back to my childhood and depend on my parents for all of my needs. I would like to go back to elementary age and have a bedtime of eight o’clock, so I can always feel fully rested. I want to go back to my adolescent years and my only worry to be about when my next play date would be.

I want a student who will always do their homework, no matter how exhausted. I want a student who can get into the best colleges. I want a student who will never take a sick day in order to keep up with their classes. I want a student who will get a perfect standardized test scores. I want a student who will push themselves to the limit every day in practice after school. I want a student who takes multiple AP’s. I want a student who doesn’t complain about getting up at 6 AM every morning after a sleepless night of worrying about school.  I want a student who will constantly maintain a balance between sports, school, and a social life.

My god, who wouldn’t want a student?
