Hard Work, Dedication -Dolvett

For the vast majority of my life, I worked really hard at many things. I worked hard at school. I worked hard at my job. I worked hard at sports.

I'm beginning to think that those who don't work hard are on to something.

One of the most selfish things I've seen since Hurricane Sandy is people begging for wedding bailouts. Ohhh so your venue is gone? But your house is ok? And the people you love are ok? And now you want something for free because you were "affected" ??? God forbid you ever had to know what "affected" really looks like. It makes me livid. I'm sorry. You can't have your big, superfluous wedding exactly the way you wanted it. While there are other people who are still living on air mattresses because they can't go home. And there are companies out there giving money to these people? Not the people who really need it? Giving away money so Uncle Sam can have filet mignon instead of chicken? AHHHHHHHHHHH. Disgusting.

Why do people always want to play "victim." Why do people always make excuses? Oh, I couldn't work out because... or I couldn't get my essay done because... Or I couldn't make practice because... Or I couldn't pay attention in class because... etc.

What are we teaching our youth? We are setting a horrible example. Then we complain when they don't do their homework, don't read, don't pay attention in class, don't write essays, and don't care.

Well, helllooooooo. Maybe if adults weren't always looking for bailouts and freebies and being lazy, kids wouldn't either.

Sorry for the rant, but America was successful because people weren't afraid of hard work. Now, America is falling apart because nobody wants to work. Makes me nervous for the future.
