Snowpocalypse

I think it's safe to say that I was as shocked as most other students and teachers at Stevenson that the storm hit as hard as it did. What was far more shocking was the fact that we got not one, but two days off of school! Seeing as how this storm was so bad and many people were even trapped in their homes, you would assume that the snow would have brought people in a neighborhood or community together. Unfortunately, I never saw this happening in my neighborhood, and my family members surely didn't see it either. My grandma lives down the street from my aunt and uncle, and at the moment she is currently staying at their house because of a recent illness. She's a widow and it would be too hard for her to get better and take care of herself in her own house without any help. After the storm hit, her neighbor whose house hers is connected to decided to only have their snowplow service plow her driveway and not my grandma's, even though they are literally connected. It blows my mind that someone my grandma has been friends with for so long would not help her out at all, especially since my aunt and uncle needed to get into my grandma's house but were blocked by a 3 foot wall of snow. This relates back to the idea that people are not sociologically mindful and they only care about themselves and don't think how their actions will affect others. It is events such as these that remind me how so many people are only interested in themselves and rarely think about helping or being there for others.
