Walking through the halls of any high school in America

Walking through the halls, everyday, between 4th hour History, and 5th hour Biology, I start to think. The gears in my head starts turning. I hear different conversations as I walk further down the halls. Basketball scores, new terrible songs posted on YouTube, TV shows, tests, and gossip. A football player is making out with a cheerleaders, the teachers walk past, ignoring them. And I just can't help but think 'Why do what we do?' Every high school in America, this scene plays out everyday, every month, every year. Why do we do what we do as humans? We go to school, graduate, get a job, try to make ends meet. There are almost 9 billion humans on this planet. We are just a speck of dust, nothing really. What is life? Everyday by the time I reach Biology, I find myself asking 'What is our purpose? Are we just another statistic?' This is a question every human must ask themselves. What do you want YOUR impact to be on this planet? What do you want YOUR legacy to be?
