Good on both of you guys for volunteering at one.

Still after walling for a half our or so it tends to get weak. Need a bit more time.<br /><br />Off to the food bank in Strasburg to help out this afternoon. Said I could sit as much as needed but still wanted my help. loumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882146154150499756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066062120776667625.post-87501251359342493482015-12-01T07:52:44.161-08:002015-12-01T07:52:44.161-08:00That' fourth para there sums it up. My Dad was...That' fourth para there sums it up. My Dad was actually 100% apolitical, but was a very hard worker. My Mom was initially a little more left leaning from my memory, though she has gone full Clint Eastwood now that she is in her 70's. After my folks split, she was a single Mom working in a electronics sales and had to really hustle to make a decent living. They instilled a pretty good work ethic in us by example more than by talking about it. Interestingly, my racist uncle has bombarded my cousin with his ideology for years and my cousin has not exactly lit the world on fire. <br /><br />There is something, I think, to the everyone gets a trophy attitude. I still have not learned to be gracious in defeat, but am generally able to compete, deal with the win or loss and move on without giving it endless thought or looking for validation that I'm still a worthy human being. I will, however, take a victory lap when school is done in a couple of weeks ;><br /><br />I was volunteering up until I started school, and hope to volunteer as an NP when I get some experience. There are plenty of places around the country where that kind of help is needed. Bouncing back from a hip takes a lot of work, be well my friend.

Imagine if the person that resigned in Mizzou would have addressed the issue in a similar manner. Remove from the team all the players that refused to play, ending their scholarships. Suspend any agitator on campus that did not comply with campus rules. The last statement says it all:<br />This is not a day care. This is a university!<br /><br /><br />Instead they (I assume the board) forced him into the politically correct solution of resignation. <br /><br />It's an interesting observation you make of each generation. As an older parent, I could easily be my daughters grandfather, I hope to have instilled the work ethic and respect that is needed in the world today. So far she's a stellar student and has not allowed the campus life to distract her from her goals. She begins as a teaching assistant in the computer science department next semester. She set a goal and is close to attaining that goal. <br /><br />Imagine what the parents of the students instilled in their children as they were growing up. Has nothing to do with left or right but has to do with how they raised their children and the expectations set for them as they grew up. Was it the everyone gets a trophy attitude?<br /><br />The volunteer thing, suspended for another month or so, had to replace the hip as the disease continues to ravage my joints. Doing a little work from home for a few of my customers to pass the time. Life continues on whether we chose to participate in it or not.<br /><br /><br />loumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882146154150499756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066062120776667625.post-20330018631307608022015-11-30T21:21:12.078-08:002015-11-30T21:21:12.078-08:00I would suspect most could make a right or left ca...I would suspect most could make a right or left case of this, and that seems shortsighted to me. Narcissism, particularly in this country, does not know many boundaries. As I near my 50's I seem to be treading on a road that many ahead of me have been wherein I look backwards at younger people and shake my head at their selfishness. Every generation since the great depression has been spoiled and had it much easier than the one before it. Still, reading this story, I hardly think the University is the only place where such brutal selfishness exists. <br /><br />Out of pure curiosity, has anyone here volunteered for anything lately?Max Yasgurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816449822816423030noreply@blogger.com
