Today we registered with City Year. Nothing much really. Filled out paper work, I'm sure I may have intialled somewhere I gave part of my soul to some group...hopefully City Year. That was about it. I got lost getting off South Station to go to the post office. Lucky me though, there are some good people in this town. When I was almost hit by a car the guy stopped real quick then stopped to see if I was okay. I didn't really get hit, but I jumped a bit. Another guy walked me to the post office while he was on his lunch break so I wouldn't be lost more. So I was ridiculously happy about all this. I also meet another guy. He is from Mississippi and was trying to get donations for the Democratic National Convention. When I told him I was from Louisiana he basically jumped from his skin. Nice dude as well. Altogether, the city is getting slowly redeemed in kindness.
So why the big deal? Well, I personally believe the South is a very friendly place. Some people may disagree on this, but altogether I think people will try to be as kind as possible to you if they can. I was raised to be polite and to help others when I see them in distress (this includes looking very lost on a corner of a street). It promotes a fellowship between people and allows everyone to feel like they are not completely lost in the world. Just my opinion. I just think we all have to work with each. When you give up on people, you give up on humanity.
