When you're little, you are always the ones listening to what the grown-ups say. In tours and meetings or assemblies, you are the inferior people and you obey their rules. No questions asked. The positions are understood.

On the other end of the spectrum, adults naturally have a superior role. Once you're in the work force and out on your own, you hold the perpetual "adult" physique. Younger generations pay attention to what you say just because that is how it is. No questions asked. The positions are untouchable.

And then there is the gray area of young adults. We get to switch roles almost everyday. At school, we are taught to obey the teachers and administrators. They are the superior positions. We follow what they say. But, just as quickly, we can slide into the "adult" role and be looked upon by eager, young eyes of innocence. Our every move studied and mimicked by little arms and little legs and naive minds. Suddenly our code of conduct is that which is the law. When, just minutes before, we were in the stages of learning and growing and making the mistakes of life, our role can be reversed and the facade is of strength and knowledge. Adults know the answers to everything.

So how is it that the kids who are in one moment struggling along and abiding by the rules, be, a lonely moment later, those wise, organized, and calm leaders?

I don't know... but that's us- right now.
