Inspiration is the key to many doors. It is one of the many ways we motivate ourselves as humans; moreover, it is what drives us to the mind-boggling moments of reality. The way we inspire ourselves or even each other to complete the un-completable . Inspiration can be unpredictable, it doesn't just come off tree's, but when it appears it can be harnessed. It can be harnessed like a wild horse running into the endlessness of the wild. And once it is harnessed, it can ignite an astonishing velocity to the amount of beautiful work that can be created.
This weekend I witness beautiful work. First hand, I am proud to say. Although beautiful work occurs all the time, I was honestly left in awe by the immense power of questions and answers that could be brought about by a single movie. Keep in mind that I have watched a ton of movies, so that says something. The movie was Interstellar and although it does have its flaws, like many movies do, I was mind-boggled by the end of it because of all the pending questions I had. However, the movie responded several of them after profoundly discussing it with my brother and cousins. Getting back to my point, after having watched the movie I felt inspired to read about space and wanting to know more about its explanations, mysteries, and misconceptions. I even wanted to now about space travels; moreover, the successions and the failures of it. I basically wanted to know everything about space because of the movie. Even being fictional to some extent, the movie left me inspired with a motif to learn a topic for my own satisfaction. The deliriousness to myself, however, was the thought of me being interested and contemplating over a topic I never imagined myself ever daring to integrate with. It was as if I had almost been tricked, consciously, by the movie to become left with much inspiration. After having contemplated the movie a few more hours I realized that that same inspiration is what is needed more in school. That specific drive to push you into areas of new learnings for your own satisfaction is incredibly important. That same drive is what I believe should be the new foundation for schools because a school without inspiration is like a dried out flower in the middle of the summer. Now this doesn't necessarily mean that inspiration needs to be found through a movie, that was just an example, it more-or-less means inspiration should be provided by in schools everywhere through different procedures. Proud to be a part of a marvelous example of where self-inspiration can come about is in the Innovation Academy. However, since we have recently been working on our smoothie company ,BlendZ, I realize that although we are eager to finalize a physical place on campus and to sell smoothies we have lacked that sort of inspiration. We have been too myopic on our directorships and researching. BlendZ is a result of our entrepreneurial learning, but we as a company needed more autonomy to sit down and spill the good feedback and bad feedback of our habits through out the work space. Although we were in a delicate place as a company, we came to the realization that not reaching our full potential and not taking the extra mile to complete the race was a crucial factor to our sluggish accomplishments for the business. Therefore, as only students we sat down and inspired each other to ride the horse into the endlessness of the wild and ignite the astonishing velocity to the beautiful work we are in the midst of finalizing.

Hey Stefan, come and see me so we can talk about this entry. It's a bit vague at times, and you don't mention the movie that inspired you. We also need to look at the errors you're making with punctuation and sentence structure.
