Dear Readers,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and my good friend (and now editor) Mr. Jeff Payne for giving me the opportunity to rant one last time in Sellers’ Scruples. However, I am not going to rant for the sake of ranting. I felt that my last opinion piece should be more of a reflection on life itself. It all started with an egg and a sperm cell then BOOM conception. From that moment on it was nothing but growth. Growing of body into what would eventually look like a baby and not a scary little alien thing, because let’s face it; before we are sent out to greet the world, babies are funny looking. After that cycle of development was completed it was time to greet the world. From the moment of first inhale and screaming exhale, it was a time for growth of not only body, but mind. Every day learning something new about the world around us: from the discovery that we have fingers, to us pulling on someone’s nose, we as humans have always been inquisitive. As we moved into elementary school we started to ask a billion questions because we needed to know anything and everything. That quality came with us through middle school, high school, and remains with us today. I ask you, dear reader, never settle for face value of the world. If you want to question something or make a change, do so. It is up to us to be the difference in our lives and in the lives of those around us. We can spend all the time we want mulling over situations in life and being unhappy about our circumstances, but we have been blessed with the ability to question, to consider, and to change. Give yourself a little credit; you are a small part of a greater good. Use your questions and thoughts to your advantage. If you worry that you are not proactive enough in your life experiences, whether it be your college community or your home town, your family dynamic or any situation in general, know that it is up to you to make the best of it. You have the ability to ask others if they need help or if they want to go somewhere and do something. You can become a proactive part of life. Do not sit back and let excitement and the world come to your doorstep and seek you out, because it won’t. The world will just pass you by. I hope this message is a little more than just a rant to you out there, reader.
