Why?

Why? The question I ask myself the most. Why did I do this? Why is it this way? Or just why? I would say I have a mind of question, I want to know the answer, and why. So when I get the answer "No comment" from Mrs. Corry, I'm not to pleased.


I ask myself questions daily. Whether it's "Why did I do that?" or "Why does it happen this way?" Why?

One of the questions I find myself asking the most is why after Algebra 1 comes Geometry? Seriously, why? I mean I get it, you need your Algebra skills all your life, but do you really need them to find the circumference of a circle? Well, yes you do in fact. But I don't understand why you learn Algebra and then the next year you forget most of it for Geometry and then the year after that you need it again, when you don't remember it. Why they do this? I will never know.


In math I sometimes have a hard time understanding the study notes. It's not that I never get math, or I hate it. Because I really like it. But sometimes it's harder for me to catch on than other people. Like for example, I am in Geometry and I would say half my class is 8th graders. Lots of them really understand it and they understand it fast. So when Mrs. Corry says "Ok class, figure this out." Almost right after she is done saying that, one of the 8th graders yells out the answer.


"Why?" I ask. "How in the world did you get that?"


And then the kid turns around and tells me how he did it. He tells me so fast I still don't understand. "Why?' I ask again. And then someone says,


"That's just how it is?"


How can I really be pleased with that answer? I have a mind of questions, I want answers not just "That's how it is." There has got to be some reason it is like that, when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and someone asked him how you make light, I pretty sure he didn't just say "That's the way it is."


Why am I still in junior high? Why not high school? This I do know the answer to, we all can't fit in the high school. But I wish I was at the high school. I like junior high, but I'm ready to meet new people, I'm ready for a new experience!


Why do they have the boundaries so some people go to Layton and some to Davis? With them building the new junior high and changing the boundaries, I have been thinking of why that is. Some of my closest friends will go to Layton, and I'm going to Davis. One thing I do like is at Davis I will meet a lot of new people. But if it were me, and I had the choice, I would go to Kaysville. I personally think that it would be easiest to meet people in 7th grade instead of being a sophomore at Davis and not knowing anyone.


Why? A questions that roams around in my brain, a questions I sometimes won't know the answer to, why?
