I recently read a story on the Fox News website that followed a ninety-nine-year-old WWll veteran. They asked him in the interview what advice he had to give to the younger generations. His first answer was “stay off the drugs, that’s number one”. His next answer, however, really made me think. He went on to say “stay in school, and when you come out, come out with the idea of serving people”. The reason that I found this interesting is because my generation is known to be the most selfish generation, and I believe it to be true. The fact that kids can take a picture of themselves, and post it on social media in a matter of five minutes has made us completely self-absorbed. Most people don’t even realize it. We all need to take the fantastic advice that this hero has given us. If we all came out of college with a mind to serve others instead of ourselves, I believe the world can become a place where people are respectful, kind, and considerate of those around them.
