What is change? According to President Obama we need change, and it’s time for change. But what does change really accomplish? The dictionary definition of “change” is “to make the form, nature, content, future, course, etc. of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone.” But according to some East students, that’s not what change really is. “ Change is making things better, getting more out of life, living to your full potential and adapting to different lifestyles,” said Angel Boone, senior.
CHANGE
Change is all around us. Change makes us who were are. But is change inevitable? “ It’s got to happen one way or another. Things can’t stay the same forever,” said Boone. People, especially teenagers are known for how much they change throughout they’re life. If someone tries to reform himself or herself to go from misguided and “bad” to admirable, is that really possible? “ Why not? Sure. There’s progress to be made in everyone. But I believe that sometimes change doesn’t
happen on its own, sometimes it needs a little help,” said Randy Boone, senior. Nothing in this world is the same as when it was first created. Computers, cell phones, clothes, and language itself is constantly being reinvented. People are no different. “ In my past I made some bad/questionable decisions especially in relationships, but when I met my current girlfriend she changed me. I fell in love for the first time and I’ve never been the same since,” said Randy Boone. Change is not always good though.
“ People can definitely change, but sometimes it’s from good to worse,” said Hudson Bridgers, freshman. The world is changing all around us; technology is improving everyday and advances are being accomplished in every field, all the time. Change cannot be stopped it is inevitable. “ Things will eventually change over time,” said Bridgers. “The world itself is changing whether you try to stay the same or not its not going to happen so you can either take it in or lock yourself up,” said Angel Boone.
