Shoes

I have this morale story that pop in my mind relating to shoes. I know that the topic came about in my class, but I already had this upcoming idea. Ironic when people can read your mind right? Anyways, I decided to compare shoes to single parents who raised their children. Hopefully it's not too overdramatic and boring.

Do you even know why we wear shoes? Sometimes people forget to look at their shoes and just go on the day without ever noticing it. But just in case you forget, I'll tell you again why we wear shoes, it's because we want to protect our feet, easy right? But I don't think just that, I also think we want to feel protected no matter we go, not just relating to shoes.


But, girls and guys judge shoes differently because shoes come in all shape and sizes, high and low, new and sometime used qualities. A girl is a girl and guy is a guy, but a girl and guy were both born the same way and that is by both of their parents.

Along the way, you’ll find many hardship of single and divorce parents. Most of the time your first shoes was put on your feet by your parents, either mom or dad. We wear shoes to walk our first step outside, to take our first run and to drive our first car. Many girls like to wear more shoes than guys because they are picky about what they want in life. Yet, I observe some people said that more shoes = more education.

But, now, Imagine yourself having a single parent and put yourself in this person’s shoes. You find it common throughout history that divorce rate is higher than 50%. Even back in the old generations, people mouth the words all the time, that if you have two parents then you’re more likely to go to college and if you didn’t, then you were going to end up in jail because they assume you will grow up to be a bad kid. Don't get it wrong, but society has changed now and those negative thoughts are turned around often. I know I wasn't born in the 70s or 80s, but I have done my researches as well.

There's a reason why I don’t think you are a bad kid if you have only one parent. I think that you can have the same knowledge beyond the experience of a person who was raised by both parents. For example, I have experience an average life of many diversity and culture, knowing how far the world can take me, you and I can both work hard. Even most celebrities who became rich and famous were singlely raised by one parent and feel proud to admit it, Lil Bow Wow, Rain, Kimora Lee Simmons, Ayumi Hamasaki, etc..the list goes on.

As people mature into new shoes, they grow wiser little by little, they begin to understand others pain and suffering. When you buy shoes, you take the first step towards a PATH. It's nice to accept others and being true to yourself no matter where you were taught in life, even before or after you wore someone else’s shoes. If you're asking, "But, I don't wear anybody's else shoes?". That's not what I'm saying, it's like asking you about putting yourself in someone else shoes to understand them.
 Simply the kind of shoes that you are wearing now is who you are. If you grow out of your shoes, throwing it away is the same as losing a memory, donating it is like giving the memory to someone else, and keeping it might become a memory that is blocking the way (still to stuck to the past).


It doesn’t make you cooler or smarter if you were raised by both parents, you are the same like any other kid who was raised by homosexual couples (who still have both to raised you) or a single parent ( who loved you as much as two parents).
