Our Generation

One myth that I always hear that drives me crazy is that our generation is lazy and not hard working. The other day I attended this event where the speaker pretty much put down us and our entire generation. He was much much older then anyone in the room, so he clearly intended to make us feel bad. He explained that our generation does not care about what is going on in the world and that he is afraid to know that this generation will soon be running the country. Well, I believe that this is a myth. I think that our generation is always seen as lazy and not hard working, but these people do not see all of the incredibly hard working people of our generation. They choose to see what they want to see, and ignore all of those who truly are working hard to make the world better. I mean, it is our generation who is really helping to push the "green" issue and trying to save the environment from the buildup of harmful things OTHER generations put in our environment. Other generations are so quick to put us down but we are really helping to make a difference.
