What they display, these students who don't arrive in the reading room until nine, or even later, is a kind of daring. They play with life, with possibilities. For me my studies are like a tightrope I'm balancing on, life will begin only when I've reached the other side. Only when I'm standing there triumphantly, with a glowing testimonial and glittering results, only then, I think to myself, will I be free. .Anonymous
About This Quote
This quote captures the essence of what it's like to be a student. To be, is to be different. This means that most adults who go to school view life as something they were forced into. It is something they have no say in and most likely don't enjoy.
The students mentioned in the quote are not concerned with the grades they receive or how many hours they spend at school. They see school as a place where they can express their individuality and use their minds to their greatest potential. They are free in the way that young children are free, simply because they are not yet burdened by the demands of adult life.
