Ancestors

by Roshan from Boulder

Living in the old ages before cars, buses, bikes etc must have been really hard. If you had to go somewhere you would have to walk for 100's and 100's of miles. Traveling was really hard but people would stay walking for days and days just to get somewhere.

That's the questions we all ask ourselves. How did our ancestors live through that? How did they make it out alive? Just even thinking of living without technology and all the modern stuff we have hurts my brain.

Our ancestors have always been a hero for me. In middle school when I read about ancestors and how they lived, I was shocked. I was also very inspired. If it took them 3 days to get water from a clear pond I think to myself "Man, we are really lazy if we don't even wanna go downstairs just to get a cup of water".

Our ancestors were extraordinary. They were very active, unlike our generation. They built everything from their hand, carving, building and making lots of things to survive with. They did all the work so we could live a better life. No matter how long it took them they worked hard and made hard things easier for us so our life wouldn't be bad as theirs. If they weren't there for us we probably wouldn't even be alive right now. All the buses, cars, technology, and energy they devoted to us impacts a lot in our daily life. And that is why I truly believe that our ancestors were the greatest real heroes that ever lived.
