The Grace of an Angel and the Laziness of a Sloth

So today I didn't really have anything to do cause I sent in my 11 entries for youth exchange along with Kaycee's recycling entry so I decided to treat myself to a good lunch for a job well done. I ended up going to Ninja Sushi cause I was craving some noodles. So I sat there eating and thinking back on some old times and I remembered this one time in elementary that I went to Ice Palace I saw an old man skating and when I say old I mean like wrinkly grandpa old. The kind of old where it looked like his leg was gonna snap in half at any moment. At first I was really worried because I thought he might fall and hurt himself but to my amazement he was jumping and doing twirls in the air and all sorts of tricks! The first time I saw him twirl in the air I think my heart skipped a couple of beats because I thought he would fall over but no! He landed with such precision and grace it kind of made me forget how old the guy was. I guess it shows that your body can get old but your grace is something that's eternal. Remembering this made me think about someone that I see almost everyday. He graduated school last year and he doesn't have a job. What does he do you ask? He plays video games at the club all day. I honestly don't know how a person can just throw their life away like that! If I was in a situation where I wasn't able to pay for college I would be busting my butt instead living the pathetic life of a jobless person who still depends on their parents. I mean its cool to ask you parents for help because we all need help in some point in my life and I'm pretty sure that I'll need it too but still I believe he should at least get a job and help his parents out a bit. I don't I honestly don't know how some people can handle being so helpless like that! Some people don't have a choice because of certain conditions but for the people that do have a choice and can do something about it really irritates me. The finest riches in the world don't just fall into your lap you have to go out there and find it and earn it. Well whatever there are somethings that I will probably never understand. Having a hard life isn't a choice but making you life better is. I don't know about that guy but I'm choosing to make my life better..... I'm going to college and I'll get my degree!!!
