The Young, The Old, and The Beautiful

This summer I have spent my time working at a care center. Basically, I am paid to hang out with the coolest folks I have ever met in my life fifteen hours a week. They have taught me the following things:

• Always expect more from people than they expect from themselves. People need to know they are greater than who they are right now.
• Wake up early on Saturdays. Have a good breakfast, play games with your friends and eat popcorn.
• Sometimes you have be on your own and the ones you love may not always love you enough to make time for you. It hurts a lot and you will never do it to someone else.
• Never, ever take up smoking. 
• Be kind even if someone is mad at you. The lion with the thorn in its paw is hurting more than you know.
• Knock before you open a door or walk into a room.
• "I Love Lucy" is a great television program.
• Ask lots of questions all the time
• Be honest with your feelings. If you're sad, be sad. 
• The past will either trap or free you. 
• Love unconditionally

That's really all I have to say today.
