Breed Apart

As I reread the essays of our ENG10 classmates, if you observe thoroughly, all of us have a few similarities on how we regard our semestral break. According to some elderly people, our generation is said to be socially isolated. But what is this generation all about?

At this point in time, we are in the stage of being an adventurous bunch of teenagers. Continually searching for something else to do after another. We seem to be restless in a way that we always wanted to do something during our spare time. Planning out our vacation to maximize the time we have to accomplish all the things we wanted to do to compensate the very hectic first sem. Most of us, we expect much from the break that if the plan doesn’t go so well, we suffer from grave disappointments and regrets.  This new generation live in a world of technology that even in vacations we allot time for surfing the internet. Even more importantly, we value our family and our peers because we work so well in groups just like other any other generation do.  

            The common interest found in this new generation is to become a lot more active and technologically competent. But still despite being a part of this new generation we still have the same values from other generation. Like what the author, Meghan Biro has said, “yes, today’s generation is a new breed of human, but they are not necessarily a breed apart”.
