Bring Anson Back

Bring Anson Back

In a time where innovation is the key, and being a listening ear is more important than ever. Our home will not do such a thing. Anson County in its day was a place to call home. A place where business was booming and we were united. Now we’re far from it. As the world is moving along around us we are stuck in a precipice of failure, and self-demise. The economy is in a state of panic and we as a country and specifically this county are falling into a bottomless abyss of nothing. Poor educational systems, no teachers, no jobs, nothing to stimulate the youth mind which ultimately determine our future. And with nothing where will we go? As dark as that possibility may be their are two sides to this situation. The economy can be better due to more local business. We want Anson back. The steps t get there are right in our grasp but by us as a county being blinded by our foolish pride we don’t see it. Its time to leave the past behind. Leave racism, and division where it should be. Dr.Martin Luther King Jr once said, “ Let not us seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking form the cup of bitterness and hatred “. We must unite. We live in a time where the generation of the future are more accepting to other races and culture and in doing are creating a net of love, something we need much of. We must love each other and unite as a county to grow. A flower cant stand on just petals. It has a variety of parts .We need roots for support, our past generation, and our county will grow. Once that flower dies it leaves behind seeds, seeds which represent the youth and then they have the past knowledge of the generation before them as a reference to when contributing tho the county. We want Anson back.

Don’t we all miss the old environment, that we were able to enjoy. The ones our grandmother and grandfather experience. We were able to walk outside go anywhere with out worrying if someone would break into our house and steal everything we worked hard for. Back in those times the youth were engaged in the community and the adults set up standards for them to meet. They pushed the youth of the benefit of the future; We pushed them academically and socially, to excel in school, and to go somewhere in life and to meet new people and remember their roots. Remember where you came from so you can give back to the people who helped mold you into the well-rounded adult you became. We need that again. We need words of encouragement, teachers and people to care. Parents we need you to encourage your children, push them, turn off the television, get off facebook and get into the text books. That’s the problem, the parents have turned into the children trying to be their friends and keep them from being mad. It shouldn’t be like that, we should keep them in a environment where they learn from their surroundings. It doesn’t help if you take them around negative people that don’t really do anything with their life. Whether you know if or not the people you hang around tells a lot about your future. The great leaders before us didn’t work hard just for us to literally throw it down the drain. We should look up to them and say I want to leave here with people thinking positive of me and knowing that i helped a lot through out my life. When we look back 20 to 30 years from now we want be be able to say we as a county were able to grow. We got out of the stone age of nothingness and look where we are, look how far we’ve come. Its not when you get there that matters the most, but the journey. We stepped out of the darkness and are now on a precipice of greatness, and as one generation leaves this world, they will have planted the seeds for us to become more that a great county, but the best county we can be. “Life’s a climb, but the view is great” -Miley Cyrus, meaning it may be hard now but if we work hard everything will pay off. With that being said we will get Anson back!
