The Story of my Insane Nanny
Have you ever had to deal with a situation that feels like it has no solution? This is the story of my former nanny and how my Grandfather, Roger, and I got through a certain nerve-wracking situation 11 or so months later. At the time I was quite young, so there wasn’t much I could do, considering I didn’t understand more than half of the things that were taking place, but I did know that I knew my ability to feel happiness was hardly as frequent as it was before due to the fact of just how much fun in my life had declined.

But it made me learn the lesson that when you know you’re not in the wrong standing your ground is important. I feel like once people start being more altruistic and there isn't this huge disparity between someone's morals and doing what will benefit them the most that it will make progress in society increase
