Rising Above

We often feel embarrassed, angry or upset when something doesn't go our way and we feel the walls are crumbling around us. This makes a lot of people feel inadequate and insecure. What we need to realize is that every time we fall, we will eventually get back up.`` Our greatest glory is not in falling but in rising every time we fall.`` We as individuals have to make the decision to not stay down but to rise above. This is where we will find our glory. If people decide stay down, they may be letting opportunities pass them by, however if people rise every time they fall, they will become a stronger person and have unlimited possibilities.

Appreciation

Over the past 2 years, I have learned to not let life pass me by. I have learned to enjoy the little things in life; live in the moment and not worry about the future or live in the past. There was a time in my life when I lived a lot more futuristic then I do now. What I mean by this is that I was always looking forward to what was coming up, not appreciating where I was in the moment.  In less than three weeks, high school will become a thing of the past for all  grade 12 graduates. In grade 9, grade 12 seemed so far away, almost out of reach for some. Looking back goes to show how fast time fly’s and that we need to "appreciate what we have, before time makes you appreciate what you had."
