Jump Little People Jump

Jump little people Jump

Its funny the things we remember as children, the smell of the cafeteria, the bus number that took us back and forth, little things that our teachers said. For me, its the smell of fish sticks, bus number 398 and Mrs.Watts my fifth grade science teacher. She was a small woman about 51 who was very Southern. She would bring us blueberry cobbler just cuz and called call us little people She told the class one day,

If you ever take a road trip don't take the highway, take the back roads and you never know what you will find. I took the back roads and spend the day on a lobster boat. Best damm lobster I ever ate. For some reason that stuck with me. . I liked Mrs Watts, her words have resonated with me till this day. Take the long way and talk with strangers. Seems like the opposite of everything we are told IE hurry up and don't talk to them....even if they have candy. Its amazing what will occur in live with those rules. How many of us would never meet our best friend, or discover that amazing restaurant right out side of town. I cant wait to move from Atlanta and talk to strangers. I wonder how my life will change. Will my political views change. Will I pick up a new hobby? Will I discover another hole in the wall restaurant with amazing mashed potatoes? Who knows. I do know I will be open to what ever comes my way.

JUMP by Madonna

There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven't got much time to waste, it's time to make my way
I'm not afraid of what I'll face, but I'm afraid to stay
I'm going down my own road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

We learned our lesson from the start, my sisters and me
The only thing you can depend on is your family
And life's gonna drop you down like the limbs of a tree
It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to, are you ready?

There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that you wait, the more time that you waste
I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own
It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own
