Standing up for what you believe in is a tough task, but you are capable of accomplishing it. It takes time and effort but if you believe in something it’s worth it. There aren´t a lot of opportunities for you to stand up for what you believe in so make sure you give it your all. When you stand up for what you believe in you’re doing it for yourself, and becoming a role model for people to look up to. People will disagree with you but that’s what’s going to make you work harder. It is an uphill…

There is no real way of measuring success. Success can change from person and person, even day to day to some people. One person can think that moving from the streets into a homeless shelter is success, while another thinks finding a cure for cancer is success. Looking back in 30 years, I will have a family, have a good job, and in the end, be happy, to be considered successful in my eyes. Although all these things seem easy, it goes much deeper than just words can explain. “Don't aim for…

Cross country is a sport that many people will probably never experience. Most believe it is too difficult of a sport for them, or that they would never make it to the finish line before giving up. However, what these people might fail to understand is that they endure a cross country race every day of their lives. Cross country races are just like an average work day. Every day people wake up and repeat their morning routines over and over again. They shower, brush their teeth, comb…

I had a roof shot on a CRV that was a hail damaged car, but quite frankly, I don’t think this one dent was from hair, I think a tree branch or something fell on it. It had three ridiculous dents and the rest were like normal hail dents. Well, I had measured this thing and it was 2.6 millimeters deep. Well, that ant coming out. I don’t think Shane is getting that flat and I don’t think anybody is going to get that flat. If you do get it kind of flat, there is going to be some disclaimer, or…

When something seems so perfect and you are loving every moment, imagine the pain you’d be in if that something was taken before your eyes. Sometimes the sadness you go through seems like it won't end, but then you realize good things can arise from seemingly bad situations. Take this example, a year and a half getting to know three kids and their parents turns to waiting nine months to meet the next child you would fall in love with just as you have the rest of the family. This is just the…

“Everything happens for a reason.” Everyone has probably heard that saying at least once in their life. Some people might roll their eyes at how cliché it is but I believe in fate and that every step you’ve taken will lead you to your calling. A person is born for a sole purpose, that purpose might be unknown, but there is a hole to fill. There might be times when you feel lost at sea, gasping for air but you’d be surprised at how life unknowingly works itself out. Like a typical high school…

Sometimes life can be burdensome. You give and give and give and life takes and takes and takes to a point when you are just drained. You feel empty inside and your physical frame is weaken with every thought about your current situation. What makes it even tougher is that no one can even imagine how hard you are struggling to pull it together; constantly fighting the tears that leak from your soul. If this you, this is your message to gain victory over your struggle. This is not some cliche…

La Vida Local was the article I chose to read about. The story explained how a family escapes Manhattan Costa Rica and discovers the joy of simple ways; this really caught my attention because I agree that if you’re a true passionate traveler you see more than just getting away for the luxury and the parties. Travel is all about experiencing other cultures and learning how to live differently. I am passionate about travel and want to eventually escape the robotic life style we live today. Every…

Second Chances Some of us believe that everything happens for a reason. And then some of us believe that life will never get better. I have thought about just giving up on life when things are bad, but as I have learned over the years that bad situations come with good. You just have to wait. It may take a while for life to get great, but you have to trust it. Here’s why. September 2011, I’m so excited yet so nervous for my first day of High School today. Every type of emotion is running…

I am such an chump. Ganderville, Tennessee has never before produced a human being as dimwitted as me, and that is saying something. But I probably picked the wrong time to show it. I mean, who forgets to pick up their suitcase after a 7 hour plane trip to Baja, California? Only me, that’s who! And even though I am stupid, I will definitely be dead by the end of this fiasco. My cousin will come at me like a nest of hornets, and not to mention my diabolical Aunt Mary. Even though I haven’t seen…
