Someone came up to me today, he said he had seen me picking up trash for the last few days and said that what I'm doing is great. He also made a comment about how I should be at home playing video games, but instead I'm doing this. Because he was a slightly older person, this might show what his age range thinks of the younger generation. However, I could tell that I made a good impression and an impact on what he thought of younger people in general.
