When I was a child I never really knew what it was that I wanted to grow up to become. I'm not a child anymore, yet I find myself still growing up and learning more and more that I still don't know what it is that I want out of life. I do know that because of attending the greatest H.S. in the history of the world, I am a better man. For that I am thankful. I am thankful for the times when life was getting me down and I made very foolish choices, that I still had the memories of people whom I have loved and have loved me. I will never be alone. For those of you who have had sorrow and pain in you life, death and despair. Remember that there is one who knows all and no matter how it seems there is a reason for it all. I've seen so much pain in my life over the years and have been close to death so many times that I can't count. A few times I have wanted it all to end, but for some reason I kept pushing on. Life is so short and it is a one time gift. So please let's all give it our best shot. For those of you out there, and I know that there are some, who are in emotional pain, know that even if you don't love yourself, I do. I can say this because I have finally learned how to love myself and in doing so have found the joy that has been missing for so long. Well I could ramble on and on and on....
God Bless you and remember, You count!
