Even though I this is my first blog post, I'm not about to start with the usual--this is my first blog post blah, blah, blah. I'm going to talk about my break through that I had today.
I'm able to get a lot of thinking done in the mornings on the train, on my way downtown. Some people read, some people talk loud and ignorant as hell on the phone, some people text, most people listen to music, but I just sit, and look, and listen. I find a lot of things SO interesting, and there isn't a day that goes by that I see something that speaks to me.This morning, on the train, I saw this lady and her daughter. So the lady was a nice, young black lady. She wasn't loud, cussing at the little girl or anything like that and I really don't know where they were going. So anyway I'm NOTICING them because I'm sitting down and they were standing like right next to that lil plexi-glass when you finna get off. The little girl was so adorable. She musta been about 5 or 6 years old. So she started singing "We Will Rock You" I started smiling to myself because I was amazed that this little girl knew the words to this song. Anyway she's talking to her mother asking her about the train and stuff, and the mother is politely responding back and I'm listening. This little girl aint dumb, she don't appear to be a genius or anything like that but she just has SO MUCH SPIRIT ! She like mama where do we get off ? What' sthat ? Does that do this ? That's when it hit me; THAT LITTLE GIRL CAN GROW UP TO BE ANYTHING SHE WANTS. ANYTHING. A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G. But she doesn't even have a chance with our school systems shot to hell. Today, I realized that while little kids get on my nerve....that they are really worth it. Somebody needs to start making a positive impact on the lives of children today [becuz hell, CPS who SUPPOSED to be doing it, damn sho AINT]......I think today for the first time, I felt like a child was somebody who is going to run this world someday, and needs to be taught how to do so........&& what a better to help DO so, then me ?
