I was born on 13 October. I got smart on that same day. I learned how to breathe and that knowledge has kept me alive up to this point. About a few years later, I got real smart and learned how to talk. Most people wish that is something I never would have learned. They think to this day that I keep rambling. Imagine that. In fact, it was just yesterday that I was telling myself and I responded to myself and then myself responded to me, and I gave myself a reply much to the dissapointment of me, which I have not talked to since last year........................................Um, yeah anyways, I work at this big giant reatil box store called Wal-Mart. We are now wearing uniforms which consists of nothing but a blue shirt and khaki colored pants. Now we all look alike. Like zombies in a graveyard. Anyways, many of you will remember me telling you about this lady I worked with whom I named as "M", well she is no longer employed at Wal-Mart because of some poor choices that she made. I have never been so happy and I now it is quite pleasant when I go to work each night because I know that "M" will no longer be there. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I have been working the service desk and money center in the mornings now a lot because we are so short handed, as if that was new. Same story different chapter. Sometimes I feel like management thinks I am the only one overnight that can do these things. Go figure.Well, that about sums up my work life. In my personal life, nothing is changing really. Church has been interesting lately. A lot of the older members have been arguing about different things which really upsets me. It leaves me wanting to go find another church home sometimes, but I stay there so the kids I teach will still have a teacher. I won't abandon them like others have before me. A lot of the kids like me a lot that have been going there for a few years, they say I am the only youth minister that listens or seems to care about their problems. I enjoy listening to kids. My nephew for instance is my favorite person to listen to. A lot of adults forget what it is like to be a kid. Most adults today think that kids are just some immature brats that need to grow up and that we all just cater to their every need and that the youth today just aren't respectful enough. I think it is this kind of attitude that makes the generation gap between the adults and youth so huge. We as adults are probably really the ones who need to be more respectful of our youth and listen better. I truly think that will make young people and adults more community acceptable.Anyways, it saddens me every time I hear of a school shooting in the US. How bad is it that the youth of america as well as the rest of the world get so disconnected from each other that they just want to go kill everyone they come across. WAKE UP AMERICA. Listen to our youth, they are trying to tell us something, We do not pay enough attention to our own children. If we did, we would see these things getting started from the getgo and we would be so much more better able to prevent it from happening in the first place.I know I am probably dreaming a utopia, but it will only remain utopia if more people do not listen and understand each other better.
