This morning I woke up and did my typical routine. Crawled outa bed, poured some coffee, put on some music and surfed the web. Then for some reason I decided to grab my external hard drive and go through it. I found stuff alllll the way back to my freshman year in highschool. It was funny reminiscing on much fun I was having and who I used to hang with. Even funnier was how much I had changed over those 4 years. I'm glad I filmed a lot of it. So as I was stumbling around I opened a folder titled "Senior Project" and found some videos of one of my favorite teachers Mr. DG. He's a history teacher and tends to teach in a very non-traditional way. For example, your first day of class he tackles a stack of history books, drill holes into them and grind up the pages into a smoothie and drinks it. Anyways, for our senior project we interviewed him and other students and faculty about Wilsonville, change in the world and the school system. Here's what he had to say:
I used to want to change, I used to always talk about how "fucked" our system was and the we needed to fix, and how we're just setting ourselves up for debt. I was rebellious against everything. I mean I still believe in some of that but something changed. As I started getting older I stopped caring as much. Maybe its because I've been distracted by partying. I'm more concerned about who's driving, who's getting the alcohol and who's gonna be there. Honestly, it makes me feel bad. Sure its fun but I lost sight on what was once believed in. I was probably way more up to date on current events then than I am now. Now, I really don't know care about anything. I mean sure I have an opinion on the war, tax-cuts and all that bull shit but I probably can't back it up. I just stopped caring about the world. I turned into this pessimistic person that hates humanity and thinks every thing is fucked and nothings gonna fix it. I used to believe I had a voice and I could change the world but now I don't care. If its out of my hands to solve then I really don't give a fuck.
I'm not sure what's gonna change that.
