People today have considerably limited their concerns down to a few basics. Not necessarily in politics, but just their general worries for their future. Here’s what I’d say they are: money, education, and healthcare. I have to say though the underlying theme is definitely money. Think about it, you need money for your education, you need money for healthcare. This may be no new revelation, actually it shouldn’t, but it seems to be becoming more evident in my life so it tends to be on mind. First off – MONEY.
Money is something everybody needs, especially people like me. Some people (like me) never have enough to go around. Now it may seem like I'm complaining, but please, young people never have enough, and more things just keep getting added to my schedule and my to-do list. Things like new music to learn, colleges to check out, money to make, keeping track of volunteer hours (where/ when), school activities, church activities, internships, homework, and chores. This doesn’t even include friends, school, parents, and sleep (which keeps getting pushed back, narrowed down, and skipped every now and then).
EDUCATION.
Education has always been a big deal, at least in the last few centuries J. For the most part I have to say that education is a big concern for me as well as most other people getting ready for college. I have to say though, as a nation, one that’s known for making education available to all, we haven’t really been doing so great on that lately. It seems like school has become something that is put on the back burner, that we have to cut the budget and pinch and scrape, when shouldn’t school be the last thing we want to cut?
HEALTHCARE.
Healthcare is another huge issue. Everyone is worried they won’t be taken care of when they need it. Its all understandable, but I'm happy that people are able to understand it’s all in steps and I really don’t think we are capable of supporting a national healthcare plan.
