Why Change?

This kind of just hit me last night so I figured I would write about it.


We say we want to change Huntingdon and our community. Great idea. But then I started doing what Dr. Bee (haha... continuing bee joke way longer than anyone should) told us. I started to think "So what?" Say we have an impact here at Huntingdon... So what? What is it that we're trying to accomplish? And more importantly why are we trying to accomplish it? I know a lot of us will throw out the "I want to make Huntingdon a better place" reasoning. This would be great if I believed you. Everyone in our class (I think) will be gone next year or the year after. You might say, "Jon I want it to be better even if I'm not here." To you I say, stop lying. Most people want to see results while they're here and the process and ideas we're trying to bring to Huntingdon are not short term at all. So I ask again, why are we doing this? What is it that we truly want out of it? I don't know. Just a thought.
