Reflection On Students Two Point Oh

The blogs I read were "Should an 18 Year Old Really Know What They're Going to Do For the Rest of Their Life?" and "The Well of Inspiration." The reason why I chose to read them was that those are the kind of topics that are pretty close to we, the 11th graders.

The first blog talks about whether you should know what you want to major in or even do for the rest of your life. The author did not know what she wanted to do in her future. She then made a hypothesis that there is too many options for the students nowadays, which causes them to have hard time choosing what to do. However, I disagree with that point. I think the variety of choices we have today can allow us to be able to try out more different things before we enter college. That might be different for different people, though. So her point may still be correct in some ways.

The other one is about this girl that likes to write. She started writing in high school and she thought she had a unique talent because not a lot of people started writing novels when they were in high school. As she grew older, she met some other high school students that also write novels. It made her realized how big the world actually is, and how many other talented people are out there. When she decided that she wanted to continue writing in the future, she could see from some people that they don't believe she could do it. Eventually, she wanted to write more just to prove them wrong. I like her attitude. One should never listen when the others are trying to tell her or him, "You can't do it." The only reasons why people would tell one another that they can't achieve something is simply that they couldn't do it themselves, or no one had done it before.
