童年的我们总带着美好的幻想看待这个世界,一切都如糖果店一般,色彩斑斓,香甜醉人。而成长的经过,就是渐渐地揭开这层不真实的轻纱,看到很多缺陷。有人说这个过程叫“幻灭”,其实更应该称为“还原”。虽然失去那些看似的美好,但成长的意义就在于能够勇敢地面对缺陷,正视一个不完美的世界和其中的自己。
Whenever my mother took me to the grocery store, my favorite part was the last step in the process, checking out. I used to be completely mesmerized as the cashier clicked on his screen, scanned the box of cereal, and bagged the goods. I distinctly remember once whispering into my mother’s ear, remember once whispering into my mother’s ear, “I want to do that when I grow up.” To appease my desires, my mom instead bought me a toy cashier and fake fruits and vegetables with which I played with until the very end of its toy lifetime. I loved it. Wanting to work a cashier is a strange wish to have, and I’d be lying if I said I got over that feeling. Years later, however, I finally was able to fulfill this “dream.”
With a group of my peers, I went to a local amusement park on behalf of an organization called GlobeMed. Each of us worked at a different location, whether that was a souvenir shop, a funnel cake stand, a game booth, or a candy shop. Instead of paying us the wages we each earned working an 8-hour shift, the wages were instead donated to GlobeMed.
