Lessons from fourth graders

It's funny how people in the world try to get credit for stuff that they don't deserve. I'm a teacher's aid for a class, and today we have 4th grade recorders. They are young, but they are already trying to get credit when they didn't practice. They have an entire week to practice one short song, but when they get to class, they either think of excuses or try to get full credit when they aren't fully ready. In life in general, people do this all the time. Excuses don't do anything. They give a reason, but they shouldn't get you out of what you deserve. If you didn't do what you're supposed to do, then you should get the punishment you're supposed to get or not get the reward you could have gotten. Life is all about working for what you get. If you try to get off by only doing part of the work, you're not going to get anywhere. Hard work and determination get you farther than excuses and only partial work.

Wow it's been a while

Wow, it's been forever since I've been on this blog. I'm guessing no one's going to read this post because I've been inactive for so long that people stopped coming on my blog. I'm a senior in high school now, and my future is almost before me. I only have a month left of school, and I can't believe that I'm almost done with 12 years of school. Life is busy, which is expected, but I'm handling the stress better since I'm a senior and I'm almost done. I'm trying to enjoy what time I have left in high school. College will be a new fun adventure, and I know I'll have fun and make lots of memories. I will miss high school, but I think I'm ready to move on to a new chapter in my life. Moving away to college will be a boost for my self esteem and help me meet new people and have new experiences. I'm looking forward to the future and I know God has great plans for me!
