If I Find Something Worth Fighting For

So I was trying to think about what I'm passionate about. Something I would fight for! Something that seems to dig into my soul and says, "I feel..." But to tell you the truth, I have been thinking about this for months now. I'm not kidding you either. MONTHS. I have been trying to find something that seems to be getting farther and farther away. As Coldplay says, "I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war. If you can tell me something worth fighting for." -Rush of Blood to the Head.
I feel stuck when it comes to something I feel worth fighting for. Animals are great and yeah there is animal cruelty, but hey humans are great and there is human cruelty. I would rather fight for the human life. Volunteer work is great, but it doesn't move me. War is cruel, but sometimes necessary. I think our school could use some work all around, but I'm not about to go fight for that just so it can be torn down again. If you think I'm going to finally come up with something I'm passionate about, your wrong. I have been searching for months and haven't found it, I'm not about to find it in the 5 days Patino gave us, but I won't leave you completely hungry.
There are somethings that I guess you could say I'm all for or all not for. I'll expound on one. Number 1 being Summer Assignments. I don't get them one bit. People have told me my whole high school life that these are necessary to get ahead to make sure we are up to the work, to make sure we are smart enough, to weed out the weak ones. But hey! I'm a kid, a teenager! My young life where summers are job free and friend full are limited and you are stuffing me with work? They say, It will prepare you for college. I'm pretty sure college kids don't have summer assignments!
Freshman summer: Teacher says, "10 books. You must read these ten books before the end of summer. We will be doing a lot with them when you get back for school. Huge test the first day of school. Make sure you are prepared! If you don't have them finished you will be kicked out of the class. Oh also, take this test. It tells us how smart you are."
Freshman beginning of school: "Hello my name is Mrs. Herman. Oh you had to read 10 books? I knew nothing about it. Just forget about it. How many of you actually finished it? Oh 3 of you. Well lets move on." No one is kicked out.
Lesson 1: LIES
The reason, though, I say I'm not really passionate about or find it worth fighting for is because I have done all the summer assignments
asked of me. I have done them even though I hate them and don't agree with them. I mumble and grumble and then use my summer for school work that never seems to end. Some days I don't even know why.
Hopefully you will understand that I have been looking for something that I can say, "I feel this is extremely important. We should do something about it and I am." Maybe I'll find it this summer or tomorrow. Each experience, hopefully, will bring me closer. As for now though I am a traveler trying to find a place called home.
