the girl behind the desk
February 20th, 2007
So, you walk into the seven eleven, and you grab a bag of chips. Then you go over to the counter, and hand it to the girl, she rings you up, and then you leave. But what about the girl behind the desk? She just stays there, until another ignorant customer walks in, grabs a gatorade, and leaves, without saying a single word to her. That night on the news, you hear that a Caley Treshfelt died in a car accident. You immediately think to yourself, “I don’t know her,” but you do, because that Caley Treshfelt was the girl behind the counter, but she won’t be tomorrow, because she is dead. And there’s a chance you could have saved her. Maybe not, but maybe if you had taken the time to talk to her, you and her would have become friends, and made plans for after work, maybe you would have gone to the movies, which is in the opposite direction from her house, where she was headed, until that drunk driver slammed into the side of her car. But, had you gone to the movies, there wouldn’t have been that driver on the road she was on, and he wouldn’t have hit her. (And obviously she’d still be alive) Sooooo….. The next time you go to seven eleven, or the mall, or the grocery store, or walgreens, talk to the person behind the desk. You never know…..you could save their life.

That probably happens a lot more than people think, but they don’t know because they never talk to the girl or the boy behind the counter. That’s a really good way to look at it, though.
