As a history major with everything happening in the world right now, I tend to wonder what people may think years down the line. In ten years, twenty years, even a hundred, what will they learn? What will happen in those classrooms and what will they think of us. So I wrote a little poem type thing below, in hopes that one day when kids learn of this, they know that some did the best for them and some tried to help the world and history progress.

The world today is mad,

That goes without saying.

So many things are happening,

And so many things are going crazy.

Emotions are high,

Opinions are strong,

And everyones trying to figure out where they "belong".

When I look to the future I wonder

How people will be taught

About what is happening right now

And what we all thought.

Will they wonder who took a stand?

Who made their voice heard,

And who lend a hand?

Will they read the angry tweets,

Or will they look at the "memes"?

Maybe they will read the Facebook post

And try to comprehend what exactly they may have mean?

Personally I know I'm trying,

But feel like I'm failing,

To help the people around me know,

And try to identify the answers.

History is happening,

Right before our eyes,

And I, like so many others have so many thoughts,

But also no how to vocalize.

I want to be able to help make all this crazy legislation stop.

I want to help end the Muslim Ban

And make sure Betsy Devos does not rise to the top.

But how as a 20 year old can I do this?

Other than attend protests and writing angry tweets?

How can I help this history,

and help the world not be so bleak.

So history be kind to me,

I'm trying my best,

To educate everyone around me about this whole mess.

I'm trying to take a stance,

while also staying safe.

I'm working really hard here,

to help make the world a better place.
