I hear very little from my children anymore. It seems like it has been far too long since either of them spoke to me, though I find my grandchildren running around in the strangest of places.
I pray none of them fall victim to this "World of Warcraft" that has caused so many of my students to fail-they have caused themselves to fail, I do not shift blame, but it is a plague, it is a disease, a cancer. I never thought such a thing would be as widespread as this has been.
No, I would not rather, yet again, teach during the Nazi Occupation, but there were true reasons to miss class, and to fail, and to have issues getting homework done on time.
Not to mention these "energy drinks" that have become so popular. The two combined, I'm not sure how asylums all over the world aren't completely full, those that still remain after the world-wide general shutting down of them decades and decades ago.
Will it ever end? Hard work and determination, motivation and belief in life and nature and my kin were all that was needed, oh, in the days so long ago and overlooked and under-taught. Now it's about passing a test, a broad and general one, or jumping through hoops, or who you know...real talent, I miss it.
And who has need for heroes anymore? A dime a dozen, that is what they want us to believe, the word tossed about in newspapers so easily...ah, but these are the complaints of a very old woman who's seen and been through too much. My family, so many of us, I cannot seem to find my brothers, sisters, children and their ilk, or even my husband. What a strange world is this twenty-first century!
[ooc: i-i found this by accident and tried to make a post like the others idk if i did it right or hfkjladfh this is phoebe of the greeks, you can read more about her on her profile, an app for a game that i'm redoing and AHH HOPE I DID IT RIGHT!!!11ONE!]
