Connection: What I've missed

Forest Gump said, "Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you're gonna get!" I think that is the part where I get most freaked about. You never know what is going to happen.
For most seniors, include myself, are in the position where we have to choose something will definitely affect on our lives. Knowing this is a pain, I am having so hard time with balancing the school works and the college applications. By last few days, I was so sick and tired of this stressful life. I come to school, learning all the unconnected stuff without breaks, and go to home, do the homework, sleep and so on. There was only work, work, and work in my life. Until I read about Feynmen.
Richard Feynmen is a famous physicist, who had received Novel prize. He wrote many books and did lectures, in his lifetime, so people know him fairly well. His life got harder when he made the atomic weapon. After the war, he became depressed by the thought that he destroyed the village, families, and country made him guilty and unfortunately, his wife died of tuberculosis. It's hard to go through those stuff when it comes altogether. Then, one day he was sitting in the school cafeteria and some guys tossing a plate in the air. Feynmen saw it, and was fascinated. He came up with the complicated equation and had fun with it. The plate brought him back to his normal life. A plate! After I read about it, I tried to see things positively and with curiosity. I noticed I missed the important point in my life because I am so busy doing "boring" works. The most important thing is having fun! Feynment could do the works when he was in bad condition, because he found fun in his work. From now on, I am going to actually having fun and enjoy all the school works and college application.
