It takes an open mindset, heart, & soul to deal with the curve balls that life throws . Today, I don’t mind letting my pain spearhead my passion. Now I don’t mind singing from my pain, or dancing from where it hurts. In the midst of it all, I found pieces of myself that I acquired from hardship. “Who am I?”, I honestly don't know, but over the past few years, who I've become, a strong young lady who still desires to know more of herself one step at a time. Who I am & who I acquire to be is yet to…
“But what the wisdom of the ages says is that we do well not to grieve on and on. And those old ones knew a thing or two and had some truth to tell. . . . You’re left with only your scars to mark the void. All you can choose to do is go on or not. But if you go on, it’s knowing you carry your scars with…

The field of counseling has always sparked a unique interest and passion in my life. To acquire a profession that comprehends guidance and empowerment towards another individual is truly inspiring. From an early age I’ve expressed a strong urge to assist individuals, especially in the emotional and mental aspects of life. In fact by performing multiple volunteer work and involving myself in certain career opportunities I’ve expanded my interest into a career at set forth to acquire an education in the University of the arts and sciences for…
I also like this poem because the message is very strong; go after something you want before it is too late. The author has a huge regret about his life and we, the readers, are able to learn from his mistake. Being a young adult, I still have still have many important events and decisions in front of me. “Nineteen” helps me to realize that if I don't seize an opportunity, it may not come again and I may regret it for the rest of my…
Today is one of those rare days in which it is raining and I’m sitting on the windowsill waiting for a sign. Something that says ‘move on’. There is still a part of me that hopes every day that you're alive and I haven't found you yet. I will have searched the far corners of the earth before I let myself believe you dead. I dream of you every night, then wake with the bitter taste of regret fresh in my mouth. You abandoned me. You have marooned me on this earth, and it is dark without your light by my side. All that fills my mind is when you were still beside me. I distinctly recall one summer when we were not quite children anymore and still too young to be adults. It was raining so hard that the streets were flooded for the first time in eighty years, and you had insisted on escaping to the desert.…
Don’t expect love in return. Just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn’t, be content that it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don’t go for looks they can deceive. Don’t go wealth even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from dreams and hug them for real. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, what you want to be because you have only one life and only one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong enough, sorrows to make you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in another’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lives for those who cry those who…
The lesson in this story is so true. No matter how many highs and lows you go through, love is stronger. We should still strive to think of others and avoid lows as much as possible. Don’t let your selfishness get in the way of what really…
One day soon all of the anxiety and the sleepless nights, are going to make the sound sleep you'll have more beautiful then some people could ever understand. You're going to appreciate every, little, thing. There is one thing I believe in this world more than anything: everyone deserves to fall in love. You deserve to fall in love. And not to ruin the surprise but, you're going to. You're going to get to fall in love with a girl and it's going to feel like your heart is on fire. Listen, you're just going to have to trust me on that because there is really no words to describe…
There exists this pressure on my generation that we must have our entire lives already planned out to a T. Even as a fifth grader, I remember a prompt on a state test asking “Describe your lifetime goals and how you will achieve them.” This question is asked throughout our lives in different variations but the point remains the same. What are you going to do with your life? Asking me this prompt throughout my years in high school would have given you 4 completely different answers. Just a couple months ago I would have given you a different answer than I would have now and I’m sure a similar story can be said for almost any student. Lifetime goals evolve as we mature and grow throughout life, and my high school career reflects these changes.…
Whenever thinking of my short and long-term goals, five total goals come clearly to my mind. Three of them are short-term goals, and two of them are long-term goals. My first short-term goal is getting a leadership position in Sigma Alpha.There are multiple officer positions, and I want to apply to one. My second short-term goal is to get a job as a Summer Staff member at Gasper River Catholic Youth Camp & Retreat Center. I have volunteered as a counselor for Gasper River in the past, but this year I am applying to be a staff member which means I will be at the camp Sunday through Friday all of the summer watching over the campers and leading them in activities. My third short-term goal is to become a peer mentor for the Agriculture LLP (2017/2018 School Year). If I am offered the position, I will help freshman make the transition into college a smoother process. One of my long-term goals is to own a farm, and house. The other long-term goal is to become an agriculture education professor.…
I find a good lesson for me in this poem that we should keep going on even though we might have…
This poem honestly means a lot to me because I can relate to it in almost every aspect of my life. For me this poem means when you meet a decision in your life think about it long and hard because you will never be able to change what you decide. Sometimes you could of made the right decision in your life or that’s what you think at least. At times you could make a decision in your life and at the beginning you might think it was the right decision but down the road it could end up bad. Decisions could be at a different levels at times. Kind of like if you go to college or not or if your going to sell drugs but there at different levels and could have different…
I know what love is, you cannot force it from someone, and you can only hope it is given back to you, you cut me so deep and I will never forget, how am I going to cope, I would have loved you forever but now your just a memory, without a doubt the hardest moment of my life, I don’t think I will ever be the same, just when I thought I had it all, he took it away my happiness, I would have given him the world, and only asked him for his love, you never understood what you meant to me, and there is a hole where that love once was.…
