Don't Rush Your Life Away

Don't Rush your life away it's the only one you got. This school year has gone by so fast! I wrote a poem to describe this and I would like to share it with all of you. "First day of school some smile some frown. Just ready to get the school year down. But it goes by so fast making it hard to breathe. Before you know it you will be in the 12th grade." When school first started for 2012-2013 kids were already saying that they were ready for school to be out but seriously why rush your life away. Now some of those kids were seniors and they are about to graduate next week. You won't get these moments back so you should cherish them while they are still avalible. When you get older and have kids, grandkids, husbands, wives you are going to look back at your life and see what you did. Are you going to be happy with the life you lived or wish you did something different? Will you be able to tell your kids and grandkids stories about what you went through? Will you be able to help them with something they are going through or will you be in bad shape if one of them come up to you asking about something because you rushed your life away?

Lies

The Bible tells us not to lie so why do we do it? "Why do you have to lie? You act like you do it just to make the time go by. All the time everyday I can never believe a word you say. You make promises you can't keep. These promises you make every week. One day you will decide to tell the truth and that will be the day all your lies catch up with you!"

High School

I have learned a lot since being in high school. Cliques, rumors and lies are all a part of the high school life. People changing who they are just to be cool which only makes you wonder why they are really in school. All you need to do is stay true to yourself and God because the things that seem in now might ruin you later on. God is always with you so when you seem in doubt turn to God he is always here for you even when your friends are not.

Being You

Have you ever thought "man I wish I was just like you?"  My whole life I have heard people say I wish I had your looks or I wish I could be as smart as you.  I mean really people!  God made you who you are.  If you be just like someone then there won't anybody to be you.  You were put on this Earth for a reason.  Not everybody has the same looks, personality, abilities, or friends but that don't make you any less of a person.  Stay true to yourself.  You are amazing just the way you are!
