Do I think my generation was chosen for this moment? Yes, yes I do. We were latch key kids. We had to figure out how to do things ourselves. We learned whom to trust. We were introduced to computers in school. We were first with Atari games. We are great at handling new information, new devices. MTV. We were taught to be patriotic during the Reagan era. We said the Pledge every day, visited graves on Memorial Day with our parents. Fourth of July parades with veterans on floats. We learned you have to work and show up every day - no matter if you were a homemaker/mother, an executive, a janitor or a student. We were taught to love God and went to church and Bible school. Summers were endless and were able to be outside each day riding bikes all over town until evening. We picked up hall bales and were paid 3 cents per. We were bullied and bullied someone else. We figured it out - how it feels on both sides. We were allowed to play outside in the rain and mud. Campout.
