This I believe

6:45am. I wake up, go to school, get on my phone, come home from school, think to myself, “I need to do homework and then probably go on a run. I need to clean my room and then study for the act.” But In reality, instead of saying I’m going to do all of these things I find myself in bed. I take a nap.  An hour later I wake up. Then I’m too lazy to get out of bed so I get my laptop and watch Netflix. Then while I’m watching Netflix I pull out my phone. I like and comment on Instagram pictures. Well, there goes 2 hours. 2 hours where I could’ve done my homework. 2 hours where I could’ve helped my mom. My mom doesn’t take naps. My mom cooks me dinner and teaches piano. If I got out of bed, maybe I could make her dinner. 2 hours where I could’ve been getting better, faster, smarter, and stronger.
I believe we Need to do the right thing, even when we don’t want to. May we ever chose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. I often find myself regretting those 2 hours in bed. Regretting that time I faked sick so I didn’t have to go to ACT prep. Regretting that time I chose to eat a bowl of ice cream when I should’ve gone to the gym.

In the movie “Napoleon dynamite”, Napoleon chose to get up and dance for Pedro regardless of the consequence.  He didn’t care what people thought of him. He did the right thing I believe we not only need  to do the right thing for ourselves but, we also need to do the right thing for others. We help ourselves by helping others. One day during lunch, my friends went to a place where they were going to be late for fourth period. I really wanted to go but didn’t because I knew the right thing to do was to be on time to fourth period. So that day during lunch, I ate with the peer tutor kids. It made me so happy and I knew it made the peer tutor kids happy as well.
I know when we chose the hardest right, we become better. We feel better and we live happier. This I believe.

fire

There will be a time in your life when society will say this to you. 
It’s happened to me.
When we get told we are not good enough we have a choice. A choice to give up. Be sad or mad. But, we also have a choice to learn and be glad. 
Someone wise once told me, 

“The light from that fire will eliminate your path to that place for your heart is without fear.”

Natrrrrrrrr

I went up the canyon today. I drove my little brothers. They were both fighting like usual the whole way up. Once we got way high up into the mountains, I parked the car. My brothers stopped fighting and everyone was silent. We were amazed by the neon red and orange trees. I think god created nature to make us feel at peace. He gave us nature to recognize him in his beauty surroundings.
