This blog is not for a class assignment, but i decided to write it so I can blow off some steam. So last weekend my dad and uncle had a Jesus in the Park youth workshop in Pigeon Forge, TN. He asked me, my sister and some of our close friends to go up Friday night to be ready to help Saturday. Everything was going fine and we were all having a great time. Yeah there were some minor difficulties, but no biggy. The youth workshop ends and we all venture off to have some fun in the night light of Gatlinburg. Little did I know that this was where all the problems were going to start.
My uncle being a man that has connections in Gatlinburg was able to give us passes to get on some rides. The first ride called "motion master" goes smoothly until we get off the ride. As I approach the lady to ask her if we can enter the second ride she surprises me by saying no, because someone in our group decided to throw a coke can over the rail defacing the property of this site. Not knowing what had really happened I pleaded with the lady explaining that no one in the group would do anything like that.
To my surprise, I found out later that one of the members of the group was found to have thrown the can. This really hurt me, because I made a fool of myself by pleading with the lady and now she has a confirmation in the back of her head that "black people" don't know how to act. So I just want to thank her for the problems that were caused in Gatlinburg. Thanks for a "great weekend." This may sound like a petty situation that I'm just blowing up, but it's so much more. Oh and about the whole goodie two shoe thing.... Yep that's me!!!
