Eraser

By Tammy Derouin

The American flag tells a story about our great nation. It has changed over time to acknowledge each state which has joined our republic. While each state is represented by a star, the flag holds true to our history, our thirteen original colonies. Without the experiences of the colonist, the history of why the original colonies came into existence in the first place, the United States which we know today would not exist. To remove even one thread, would alter history.

Why would we want to eliminate the reminders of why our nation was founded or the struggles which have taken place? Without our past we do not have our present day. If we do not understand the importance of the past and therefore try to eliminate that which we do not like, we are setting our country up for disaster.

Every life is filled with highs and lows. We have things we want to remember and things we would much rather forget. If we took an eraser to our own life and eliminated the things we didn't like or if we embellished or created something that wasn't true, a short-term benefit may be enjoyed. The consequences from fallout, however, are not worth the perceived gain.

We understand the importance of keeping personal records. We keep tabs on everything. In this day and age, if we aren’t keeping track of ourselves, someone or some entity is doing it for us. It would be in our best interest to make sure our information, our experiences, are recorded correctly.......
