Importance of Exposure
"With the help of our school system, some students' dreams
become a reality."
By Desmond Delk
Spain, France, scuba diving, exploring cultures, and
soccer aren't normal experiences for inner-city students. Just visiting
another state could be like making a billion dollars to some people.
But with the help of our school system, some students' dreams become
a reality. Exposure is the key.
When you are exposed to something, you don't have to rely on someone
else's opinion on the subject. You also become well rounded. Someone
will say, "This is the greatest place ever," or "Don't
even try it, it's so boring." Well, you have to believe that
until you try it yourself.
I know at my school, they help you make your own opinions about
different endeavors, foods and sports. They offer trips to Spain
and France, and the opportunity to serve as student ambassadors
through foreign exchange programs. No, everyone doesn't make it
to the Atlantic Ocean to do underwater exploring, but by joining
the scuba club, you at least get to explore different rivers and
lakes in the Southeast.
So, join clubs and be active in school, so that you may one day
be the person in the TV.
