I helped my friend Lucia write a statement to read at the Melrose School Committee and we got quoted in the Globe. I feel like I’m contributing to shaping society in a way that I want even though I have no actual connection to Melrose.
The strength of my convictions is not what it was when I was a self-righteous little brat. But still, it feels good to do something to contribute to civil discourse.
Plus those kids better be well-educated, they’re going to be paying for my social security check!
