Knowledge (Re-Do Pass)

If somehow, all knowledge (not just scientific) was destroyed, the one sentence that I would tell the next generation would be, “Believe in the possibility, even when life is giving you every reason not to.” I chose this sentence, because no matter what generation you’re in, you can definitely count on life getting hard. Everyone will eventually come across a problem in their lives, whether they’re nine or thirty-nine. That problem can be as minor as homework or as colossal as death; it’s still a problem, no matter the size. However, they shouldn’t let these troubles overrule their lives. I know from experience that it is not easy to stay strong when life just keeps knocking you down every time you get back on your feet, but it will only make you stronger in the end. In one of my memoirs, I wrote, “If you don’t lose yourself in the face of a tragedy, then that truly will be an accomplishment.” I find this to be true. It is extremely hard to keep going on through life when you feel like your feet have been shot out from under you. However, every single person has the potential to get right back up when life knocks them down; there is a not a person who doesn’t. Today, many people, me included, lose hope so easily. And the sad part is, today’s generation finds this tolerable. However, it is never, under any circumstances, acceptable to lose faith in yourself. I would pass this sentence along to the next generation in hopes that they would remember to always have faith in themselves, and others as well. I hope that they would remember to always believe in the possibility that things will turn around, because God will take care of everything. He will never give anyone a problem that they can’t handle. 

Inside My Head

There are so many things that run through my mind every day, most of which I can’t even begin to explain. If someone looked into my brain, they would be confused. I even confuse myself sometimes. I am going to try to explain some of the things in my head.

I am usually thinking about grades and school for the majority of the time. I worry over grades so much that sometimes I become downright exhausted just from worrying. The sad part is that my parents don’t put a lot of pressure on me about grades; I put a lot of pressure on myself. How I do in school now reflects most of my future. I have to make good grades to get into a good college to make something of myself. Just the thought of failing scares me.

I am always thinking of my family and friends. They are some of the most important things in my life. Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today. I am so blessed to have the family and friends that I have. Peyton, Hannah, and Cody have really been there for me lately and I have no idea what I would do without them. The last couple of months have been pretty bad, but they all seem to make it a little better. I love my family and friends so much.

Granddaddy and Aunt Debbie are probably what I think about most. They are in every single thought that I have.  How could they not be? I am so used to seeing them almost every day, and now I don’t see them at all. That isn’t exactly a minor change. I will always remember the memories that I had with them; I will never forget them. 

God is always on my mind . I try to always keep good faith because without it, well, I honestly don’t know where I would be in life. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that I will one day see my Granddaddy and Aunt Debbie again in Heaven. I believe that He has a plan for me and that everything happens for a reason, even if I don’t understand it. He gave me life and I owe Him my life. I will forever worship Him.
