(lol, as you can imagine it is going to be depressing, but it isn't that sad)
We had our class ceremony, in which our whole batch was in. So, our speaker was a really old lady, she was a Spanish teacher, in her early 80's. She was really slow and she has a really small build. Her hair was glistening white and she wore those old large framed glasses. She started speaking, and she spoke slowly, letting the words roll out her lips. Her slowness eventually was entertainment for the other class so suddenly everyone started laughing. Loud chuckles, and small giggles. Obviously, it pissed her off, but in her age, I guess she would have had enough patience to let it go. Again, after a few minutes, I heard loud chuckles and giggles. She let it go, AGAIN.
I am really pissed about this, because personally, I really do have high respect for people who are older than me.
Especially, those above 60.
It's kind of a tearjerker for me, when I see them having a hard time I kind of cry. (it's weird, i know.)
I just thought of how downhill the respect this generation has for older people, and it kind of enrages me.
Think of your own grandparents, and your own family, going through that. In front of a large amount of people.
What kind of heartless assholes are you?
I am so ashamed to be in the same school as you are.
Do you know how petrifying that was for me to watch?
Do you know how disrespectful that was?
To laugh at someone like that?
In a few years, you will probably not remember this day.
The day you made fun of an old lady.
But I will, this day will be stamped in my heart.
I will always remember the day, I approached that old lady on her way home, and apologized for the immaturity of my batch mates. She simply told me, "I've been teaching in this school for so long, I rarely get mad anymore, but thank you. Thank you." I smiled and quickly turned my head around, because my tears were starting to fall.
