Money

Money. Money drives people. Kids now a days won't do anything unless they get something out of it. The other day some guy was stuck on the side of the road and someone pulled up and offered help for 10 dollars. Are you really that cheap you can't give a helping hand without needing money? Cheap may not be the word for it. Are you really so low that you pounce on the weak. Most people will try to give something back to you after you've helped them. But sometimes it feels good to do something without getting anything in return. Community Service. I'm glad to see so many organizations require hours of community service. Kids need to get out in the world and see what it's like. They need to realize it's not all about video games and then someday they will get out of highschool and be ready to start college and make money. My mindset use to be right out of highschool and going into college I want to move out and have just as nice of stuff my parents have and live in a bigger or better house. That can't happen. You have to work hard for what you have. If you don't it won't mean anything to you. Working at Papa Murphy's doesn't excite me. I'm thankful to have a job but I don't go into work cheerful and happy. There is plenty more I'd rather be doing. But once that paycheck rolls around and I want to hang out with my friends or buy things, I'm sure glad I have a job. You have to give some to get some. I have to give my time to the job in order to make money in the end. I'm looking forward to being a nurse, I'm happy I'll always make a good paycheck and my family will be able to survive. But what if I found something else that made me happier than nursing but wasnt paid as well? I wouldn't choose it. I look at money and see it as a safety belt. I want it. Not to spend or to buy the next big thing with. But to hoard and save for a rainy day.
