Left Unfinished

A school library is one such place where the environment is warm and inviting. It is where students go to find a variety of resources for school projects, or to seek knowledge on a particular topic. The library promotes academic pursuit, and is thus, fundamental to one's education. Cicero would agree, “To add a library to a house is to give that house a soul.” This great Roman mind came from a time where wealthy citizens would be the only people owning a private library, but perhaps this man would revel in awe if he were to see the development of today's public libraries. The 'soul' of our schools-which is much like a second home- continues to be a library. Nowhere else would you find the diverse 'potpourri' of students from around campus. When at the library, one could partake in observations of the obvious overachievers to the dangling hag-bats working on last minute chemistry homework.
This was orginally written for a contest, but the contest was cancelled. I never found the same inspiration to finish this essay.
