Last night I attended a dance party in a city or even state that I live in. I was planning on having a good time and figured if I got into any trouble it wouldn't be a problem because I wouldn't know anybody. My reputation wasn't at risk... or so I thought. Shortly into the night I ran into a few kids that I met several years earlier. They were nice people but I hadn't really kept in touch. "No Big," I thought. They won't think anything of me if I get into mischief. More time passed and I ran into a group of girls that I met some time back through another friend from a summer camp I had attended. This brought a sudden realization... IT TRULY IS A SMALL WORLD. I say this because we should realize that we should watch every move we make, because we may not know who could be watching. Boy am I glad that I kept up good standards the other night. It would have just taken one bad move to build a bad image. Slowly word spreads and before you know it... everybody knows. Look at the digital age. Thousands of pictures are uploaded to facebook, myspace, photobucket, and many other websites. If we don't watch what we do, some of those bad decisions could soon end up on the public domain of the internet. Employers and schools are starting to use social networking sites to get more background information on potential workers or students. A resume may look good, but if there are signs of a trash talker, a partyer, or anything else that could be threatening to the company's image, I doubt that anyone will hire that person. I'm just saying to watch what you do. Make wise decisions and stay in the right places at the right times. If these things are accomplished, life will be much easier down the road.
