Is today the day?
I ask myself this every morning. Im in Biology where I have fallen asleep because the teacher is boring, Mrs.Schelm is non-stop talking. The bell rings and I head off campus and go to my favorite spot ever, the abandon bridge that goes over Dranunt Creek.

Even though I behave the way i do, in reality it is just my way of covering up my problems. So I get to the edge of the soon to rot bridge and sit. I ask myself this stupid question I always ask myself, Is today the day? Maybe not or maybe so who knows. The creek is about 20 feet down it might not be enough to kill me but the jagged rocks will. I look down at the water and It sounds sappy, but the water looks beautiful, it is flowing freely, but not free enough, it is still protected by the sides of land by it. I'll hopefully have enough courage to do it this time. It will be so sensational to let go of everything that has made me become the horrid person I am now.

You know I come here often but I've never seen you here before." She gets up and takes a little step back not knowing what to do, i pull her by her baby blue stripped long sleeve shirt to stop her from falling as the bride doesn't have railings." The bridge doesn't have a railing, dumbnut. I don't know why you're here exactly, but, i come here to look at the water and think." Delta's a little different from the rest of

    Zero, zero is the number of push-ups I could do at the beginning of the year. It was really pathetic and I was really embarrassed that I couldn’t even do one. I went home and looked at what the average push-ups a 13 year old boy should be able to do, it was 13, a lot more than I could do obviously. Now I can do 13 without collapsing. That is why I feel I grew in upper body muscular endurance this year in Wellness & Fitness.…

    I peer over the edge, wincing at the jet black body of water beneath me. I have just climbed a series of boulders, and am now at the top of a cliff, a couple hundred feet above the ground. How I ended up here, I am not quite sure. Physically, I am well aware; Mentally…not so much. For much of my life, I had remained far more cautious than my peers, preferring the safety of the ground to the risks of water and heights Yet, for some unusual reason, I had decided on this particular day that I would attempt cliff diving.…

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…
