I went back to my old middle school today to pick up a family friend. She was supposed to meet me outside at @ 3:30 and when she didnt show, I will admit, I was a bit stressed.
- I'm always in a rush to get to the next place and move onto the next thing. And who isnt? And why is that? (Another topic entirely) -
Back to the topic at hand, so when she called me telling me she was going to be just a bit longer and that I should come inside, I was a bit hesitant. I reluctantly parked the car and went into the gymnasium. I walked in and was surrounded by about thirty tween girls.
At first sight I could feel a headache already coming on by what I imagined would be a hour of shrieking, shrill voices.
At this point I still didnt know what my friend was staying after school for, then I saw the girls standing in line to have their hair measured and tied off.
These tweens were selflessly having their long hair chopped. And when I say chopped...I mean they literally cut just above the rubber band they have tied the hair off with.
I, of course, had heard of people donating to Locks of Love and organizations like that, but I had never witnessed it with my own eyes.
The whole energy were simply amazing. These young girls were so excited about giving their hair up. It was so sweet to see these girls, these innocent little girls, do something which I consider to be very brave without even a second thought.
It just kind of warmed my heart. Not kind of...totally warmed my heart.
