As I was walking into Wal-Mart today, I saw the same homeless man that stands by the same yucky, brown wall every day. He doesn’t ask for anything ever, so as usual I just walked on into Wal-Mart. When I was done shopping, I came out through the same door and saw a woman, about my age, giving the homeless man a cart full of food. He just stood there with his mouth wide open and stammering through sentences. She told him that the cart was all for him and he could do with it as he pleased. He started to cry and I had to walk away before I started to do the same.
I think many people not born in the Millennial Generation have a certain mind set of the Millennial Generation. I am not saying that all have this mind set, but many do. The mindset is that we are lazy, sheltered, selfish individuals who do not know hard work if it were to bite us on the leg. I want to say something to those individuals. You have it all wrong. I am not going to say that we have don’t have some problems in our generation but what generation doesn’t? There are rude, selfish, and inconsiderate people in out generation, but if you come to know most of us were not like that at all. Many of us see the daily disrespect and constant rudeness and think, how in the world can a person talk to another person like he/she just did? This woman did the whole Millennial Generation a favor by showing that we can be very gracious, giving people. That woman worked very hard to earn that money, then she went and took her time to shop for somebody she didn’t even know, but yet we are lazy, selfish individuals.
Now, if you want to sit here and still say the same things about this generation then be my guest, but all I have to say is I am proud to be a part of this generation and cannot wait for what is to come from my group.
