My
generation tends to send mixed signals to the world.
On one hand, we can be
stunningly stupid. We can forget the name of our president, be obsessed with
vain self-publicity, waste away our lives on video games and television, procrastinate
like nobody’s business, and get into petty drama until the whole world just wants to kill us all.
On the other hand, we have potential. Crazy potential. I
truly believe that. I look around and I see fellow teens who do crazy big
things. We are the generation that’s craving action filled compassion, that’s
starting business and blogs, capturing our world through snaps of the camera.
We are starting to engage our potential – a dangerous thing to those who want
to stay complacent.
We are an oxymoron generation and it’s up to us what side
will be dominant. Will we stay apathetic sloths? Or shall we rise to this momentous
occasion called “life”?
