The Cave

" The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."
                                                          -Joseph Campbell
      When I read that quote, it gets me thinking about how this relates to me. It reminds me of myself and high school. High school was like a huge cave to me and I wasn't too excited to go in. I was having mixed emotions about it in the beginning and I didn't know what to do. I finally decided I would just go head first and see how it worked out. The first week or so wasn't bad at all. It was actually pretty fun meeting new people, making new friends, and being in this whole new, welcoming environment that is very different from Redwood. I knew it would be very beneficial to attend New Tech and I still think it is. This school, in a way, holds many treasures. It is were I get to meet the wonderful people that I call friends. I get the treasure of a great education with the teachers who actually care to make a difference and aren't just here because they get paid the same amount weather we learn or not. So yeah, when I hear or read this quote it reminds me that there is always going to be a cave that you are too scared to go into but it's in your best intrest that you do go in an explore because you might just find the treasure you have been searching for all this time.
