While I was at OBU, I did something that I didn't realize I was doing. Until now.
While I was down there, I always looked "down upon" the cross-town rival's students. They went to the "public" school in town & didn't pay half of what me & my friends were paying to go to school. Surely non of them were "Christians" or even believed in God, because if they did, then surely they would be at OBU...right?
I sure hope I wasn't the only one at OBU to kinda feel that way.
I feel SO terrible about this now, because now, I'm the one on the other side of things.
Although I'm in a different city now, I'm the one that goes to the public school & not private. I wonder what the private school kids think of me when I tell them where I go to school. Do they think less of me because I go to the "public" school? I know what I thought about people when they told me they didn't go to OBU.
I now realize how wrong I was for thinking what I thought about those other students because it was so uncalled for & untrue & I had no place assuming like I did. I feel so guilty now...How could I have thought those things about people I didn't even know because of where they went to school?
I was lucky to get to attend the private school I did. Everyone there was LUCKY to be there.
So...this post is kind of like an apology to all of those students who I judged even if not one of them are reading. It makes me feel better to know I got it out.
And maybe there's some of you reading who just realized your doing or have done the same thing as well. I guess it's okay, but now that you're aware, try not to judge others so easily because of where someone goes to school, etc.
Maybe your reading & have never done such a terrible thing. Well...good for you!
I guess sometimes you don't realize things until your on the other side of the fence! :P
