| Dear Kathryn
I am sitting here in 7th grade English, realizing
how much time has passed since i was the one sitting there in those
seats. It has been quite some time since I last remember being
"schooled" in that sense of the word. During my free time this morning
i read an article written by one of my STS professors on the lost art
of letter writing and how technology has had an impact on written
communication. How we always search for the easy way to say things, the
short, quick, concise way to explain what we mean. It goes on to say
how entire words and a rhetoric has been lost to simplification. So In
reading that article i decided that i should write you a letter. Not
just any letter but one that is devoid of "lol-s" , ASCII smiley faces,
and the use of the letter "u" as an acceptable replacement for my
favorite thing in the world, you.
This letter is much more
then just a simple rant about STS theory, the ever changing world or,
the simple fact that we are growing older ( but the simple fact is that
we are) People say that life is getting easier, that computers and
cellphones are making what was a chore a simple click of the mouse. As
i have come to be amused by people trying to put a value on difficulty
and stress. Yet i have come to my own realization with all the
technology in the world, life is no easier.
It does bring a
smile to my face though that a simple thing like a Christmas watch
could make my life better. Today it has come in quite handy with the
array of hall passes that i needed to fill out. The simple piece of
time telling technology on my wrist has made me feel good about who i
am, that i am grown up, and where i am going. so thank you.
The
faces of the kids in this class have changed slightly from what I
remember, the girls look more grown up and the boys well they are how i
remember myself. How i wish that i could be a naive as they are. They
have a new state exam in the coming weeks and they simply don't seem to
understand the impact It will on the road ahead of them. On the other
hand I am glad that i have lost the naivety they posses, so that i know
what my thousands of dollars in debt and countless hours spent reading
will get me. I know this may seem like a hopeless rant about nothing
but i swear that i had a point when i began. I wanted to write you a
letter one that could be remembered and not forgotten along with
countless text messages we send everyday.
I know that our
lives are filled with the fear of the unknown, and so my hope is that
what we do know offers the little comfort that we need to smile every
day. I know that looking out at all these kids that I in fact am
getting old. That simply by the conversations that i have with my
brother that I am a nerd. I know that by the warmth that i feel when I
am in my chapter house, that i have found where i belong. I know that
when I look into your eyes that I have found true love. Although we are
getting old, i hope that we can continue to together.
Love
