Okay, you know how in high school the students, usually the senior class, votes on how they will remember certain people. There's : class clown, best dresses, most likely to succeed, etc. Do you know what Alabama is known as? One of the fattest, laziest states in America. Harsh? Yes. True? Also, yes. Is this really how we want to be remembered as? Diabetes is higher in the south than any region, and Alabama is right up there on the list of the most cases of diabetes, heart diseases, and obesity. Yes we don't get: Best this or best that, unless its "Best laziest state" or something like that, but who wants to be known like that?
I'm having an identity crisis here, because I know that I don't want to be known as this. I'm not saying my peers voted wrong, but I don't want to be what they say I am. I want change, but no one can do it alone. So if we want change....for awhile all we can really do is want.
