Setting an Example

When we think of a person of high authority we usually tend to view them as masters, role models and some one to look up to. That is normal and it happens to everyone because the way we were raised. For example, I was raised to believe that my majors were always the first people to look up to and follow their step. However, because of the course of time and the vast experiences we undertake, changes the way we think of our elders and leaders. I personaly think that not every elder out there are someone to look up to. We have lots of drug addicts and pornography lovers as grandparents and sadly we cannot change that for them. We are younger then them and we are basicly no one to tell them what to do with their lives. Moreover, because we as a community of young Americans have been raised to think taht our elders are the first one to look up to, this blog is dedicated who now rest in peace or are still with us in their last days, our grandparents.

Our grandparents in some point of theri lives were young as we are now. At some point they had to realize the same things we do right now. They perhaps were raised like us and had high expectations of their elders, but through the course of time their experiences have let them neglect the principle that states that elders are role models. Now, right now I am talking about when your grandparents and my grandparents were young adults. They believed that at that point of their lives they are Albert Einstein or Sir Issac Newton. They felt that they knew it all and no one could possibly set them an example. They felt they were the example to the youth. Sadly, they didn't realized they were the youth themselves. Compared to their parents they were still infants still lots to learn from life. In sum, your grandparents at their adulthood were still not the example, but in process to be an example. Your great-grandparents were, but not them.

Having everything said on the previous paragraph, we are still not example, but forming an example as we age. Caution here, this doesn't mean that you aren't setting an example to the young ones or your friends, all it means is that age is the factor in the contribution to setting an example. It is true you are setting an example to your brothers and sisters by getting good grades, but for right now, I am trying to convey the notion of aging=setting an example. By looking at your grandparents(who may be still be with you) we can understand that they are an example and the road to get there should be the same road we should take to get there. They already set an example, now they are the example.
