Living in the shadow

Sometimes being the youngest child is hard. It usually ends with results of being compared to one of your older siblings.
I find this extreamly hard when your parent looks at you and says "I can't believe you made the same mistake as ____, you should know better."
What is even harder is when you have a huge age difference between your older siblings and you. What I tend to find a little ironic is that though your parents know the situation and "mistake" in every detail, the younger sibling typically ends up knowing nothing about the event. So, in the end, us younger siblings can't know better, because we weren't alive back then. Therefore, truthful retellings of stories should be enforced, along with more accounts than just the adults. Then, maybe some of us younger siblings wouldn't be lost in the shadow of an unknown situation we have no clue about. *end rant*

No more alphabet

If there were suddenly no alphabet I wouldn't know what to do! I am a writer! I could tell my stories verbally...but as I grew older I would forget. Then there is the problem with forieners. We wouldn't have a common language with which is try to understand one another. Messages would pass through phone or word of mouth, but no more texting, emails or letters. I wouldn't be able to go to my school anymore. There would be no more writers to write books or screen plays, so no more movies. No more tv shows either because no one would write the scripts.

In one way, we would be turned into a society of hands on people. Only able to do things we had seen and been taught. But, on the other hand, the amount of knowledge we would lose would be catastrophic.

Resumes

The idea of resumes has been something I've known about for a while now. From watching my older sister make her first resume to listening to my brother in law tell his resume critiquing stories. The writing experience of my resume was pretty easy. Using a template makes the whole process a lot easier. I felt pretty bad as I started working on my resume. I felt this way only because as I began writing I felt like I didn't have very much to put down, at least, in the way of job experience.
I made my resume out to a school, as if I were applying for college, rather than a job. I found this process to be much easier as well.
