Top Citizen Achievements of 2013
Top Citizen Achievements of 2013
By Michael Collins
Im not talking about celebrities, politicians, and other high profile figures. For this review, citizens refers to everyday people or, as the elite call us, the little people. So here goes:
Common decency people everywhere are helping family, friends, others. All across the country people are opening their homes and extending a helping hand to family, friends, and strangers. Adult children struggling to get started are welcomed home to live with mom and/or dad. Adult children are also taking in their parents and relatives who are in need of a living arrangement just to get by. People reach out to friends with extra assistance to find jobs, get health care, move, etc. There is no mandate from government to do this. The deliberate generosity is found among those of all political persuasions, ethnic groups, and religions. Its called common decency and since things got tough in 2008, its everywhere.
