Thinking about the future

I wake-up everyday wondering about the future and where I will be in it. There has been so much stuff going on in the world with young people killing people. I am so, scared to leave from house at times and go to work. I am very scare for me more, because of me Cerebral-Palsy and not being able to handle someone hurting me out in the world without my family member being there to protect me.

I never thought I was going to have a future with my illness, but it turn out that that I have lived to see my fifty birthday. I thought I would never see my fifty birthday. Think about future what it holds for me. I have already went through a lot in my life time, so I am looking forward to what the future holds for me.

A lot of my friends who have some type of illness like me have died, but I am still here. Mother always say I am a fighter and I don't let anyone stop me from living or doing what I want to do.

I see these young kids carrying guns and shooting each other over meaningless stuff and some these kids are not in their twenties. It saddens me what this future will bring if we don't stop these kids from getting guns. I hate to turn on the TV or read a newspaper about some young person getting or shoot someone.

Back when I was young we didn't have all this killing that we have now. I think this generation of kids are different from mind. These kids see movies with guns and others things that they shouldn't be seeing at their ages. And their parents are just that do what that want.

In my generation my mother new where me and my sister and brother were at all times. These kids are fed most of them and let grow. I work for a college and look at them thinking here is are future workers in world! I think to myself these kid's to make this world better. Because the way this future is going now there may not be any young men living.

There is so much hate and jealousy of each in this world  people not getting along with each other. The future would be bright if everyone would just get along.
