This I Believe
Everyday I see something that I am not in consideration with. Its either something I don’t like or something that maybe I am not used to. But the most, in my opinion, annoying and rudest thing I see is disrespect. I see people of all ages and races do this. Children, teen’s adults. White, black Hispanic and Asian. Just everything. They go around not caring what they do. They live in their own little world just not caring and disrespecting.
I believe in respect. Respect for elders, family, and women/girls. Just in general respect for everyone and for myself.
As a child I was brought up to respect my elders, my family, and girls/women. I was never to raise my voice or talk back, and to this day I try my hardest to continue with what I have been thought. And when I do mess up and disrespect I feel bad and try to stop myself and think back and reflect and try not to do it again.
Once as a child, I don’t know wha ha happen, but it was pretty stupid. So I guess I was just mad or something but my mom was saying to me, because I had done something bad, and out of the blue I told her to shut up, and man, do I regret that. I got my ass whooped, and from that day on I have never talked back or been disrespectful to my mom.
Now as a young adult growing up, I see the world a lot differently. I see how the world can be disrespectful. But me knowing a difference and being raised in something different, I try not to do those things. I try to be different. This is what I believe. I believe that I should be respectful at all times, even if the others around me are not.
