PSEC Community Service Day Offers New View

The public service on September 28, 2007 led me to a realization about PSEC. It is not what I perceived it to be. Of the six volunteers from PSEC, only three of us cared enough to follow the full wishes of the client, as in, to cut along a path and generally make things safer for those who lived and visited at the house. This, to me, shows that only a few people here at PSEC are here for a higher education.

They, in essence, only wished to go to an easier school with more freedom. And, that's the majority of who's here, really (at least, those are the people I see daily). Those who wanted freedom from responsibility, those who do not care, those who used higher powers to be transferred into PSEC or by way of plagiarism, and those who wanted only to be free of school at an earlier date.

This community service day, has, in effect, shown me how to perceive all of PSEC's students. Approximately half will work hard, wish for a future, and want a higher eduction. And, well, the rest, they want only an easier way to slack off.

Perhaps, later in the year (or years), these peoples will begin to fall into place, and align with the true attitudes that PSEC has distinguished for itself. Yet, for now, these students are immature and otherwise unfit for a college environment. The teachers offer every available resource and few look to take them.

Had my favorite teachers not quit working at Todd Beamer (due to the resident 'sting' operation which was, in itself, discriminatory due to the fact that they focused on only those of colored skin) then I would return there, because at least I had more of a connection with the goings on of a wider, more diverse community than bottled up amongst immature slacks who only do barely acceptable work.

True, though, PSEC, in itself, offers a wide variety of diverse ideas and the such, but I've met few students (of the Junior year) that actually want to do something with their life and wish to make a change. After all, that should be the reason they're at PSEC.

Not for the freedom it gives and the responsibility no one wants to take.

Change, though, take time. And I suppose me peers are all merely procrastinators.
