In Their Words

Learning to appreciate

Even though I'm from Vermont, I've always 110% hated the snow. I mean sure it's nice once it first snows and covers everything so nice and pretty, but after like the first week, I always find myself wondering if the grass and greenery will ever return. What's the worst is when it's a powdery kind of snow, and the wind blows so hard that you just get hit in the side of the face with a whole curtain of little snow shards. Basically I just really can't deal with it, and I don't know how I have ever dealt with it before. Perhaps at this point, you think I'm being dramatic and you'd be 100% correct about that one.

In white-dominated streets, black families get attacked; in churches, strippers are prosecuted; in schools, not-so-cool-teenagers get disapproved; even in our homes, prodigal sons and daughters usually are vindicated. With all these incidents of prejudice, I am just curious whether pointing fingers to people who are different is the coolest thing to do in our contemporary world? I mean, don’t we think we become a little snarky when we don’t learn to treat with considerations the variations? Would you guys enlighten me cause I am not fluent, or am I missing something?
