Senior year. i have decided that I am going to make the most of it. I am going to push myself as hard as I physically and mentally can in cross country. I want to make this the best year of cross ever. At camp we were talking about making the most of your opportunities. And to not take things for granted. Like being able to use your legs. And it made me cry because my dad can barely walk and my aunt and grandpa were in wheelchairs. And how I just go running everyday and sometimes I honestly do not try my hardest when I really should. And I am disgusted with myself that I would just not even think about how hard it is for my dad to even walk. I do appreciate that I am able to run as far as I can. I may be one of the slowest people on the team, but I can still finish a run. And I am so proud to be able to say I can do that. That I can go out and run 8 miles consistently. I can run 3.1 miles in 23:15. I can go for a jog when I'm feeling down to clear my head. I LOVE RUNNING. It is my passion. Cross Country is my life. And this year I'm not taking it for granted. I am going to break 22:30 for a 5K race. I am going to make the team tomorrow.
I will also do better with academics. I will raise my overall GPA to at least a 3.9 (hopefully higher). I will try my hardest and do my homework every night AT HOME. I will pay attention in class. And just try my hardest.
As for the people in my life, I will not take them for granted. I get upset at the little things with my family and I get so upset with myself for that. I will not take my classmates for granted. I usually don't talk to someone if I don't know them in the beginning of the class. I will try to make more friends this year. I will be more friendly. I will always wear a smile and keep my head up when walking the halls. I will say hi to everyone (well, maybe not everyone I see at school, because then I would never stop saying hi ahah). I will not take lunch period for granted either.
I am going to bed now, GOODNIGHT WORLD.
Sleep well, and enjoy the rest of your summer!

this entry is public, not friends only, because it's something i think everyone needs to see.
i think its a disgrace that all i ever hear people talk about at school is sex drugs and alcohol.
what is happening to our generation?
are we going to give in and let the media control us?
if you answered no, then you're a hypocrite.
because thats exactly what you are doing.
the generation before us is destroying us.
with myspace and mtv and uncensored curse words.
and sex on tv (and in our own schools) and violence.
ONLY 4% OF OUR GENERATION WILL TRULY BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AND STAND UP FOR THEIR BELIEFS.
(you can go to church and tell everyone that you do. but going to church weekly isnt even half of it. you have to truly live a Godly life. and live through God's word in EVERYTHING that you do.)
i am part of that 4%. and so are the 35000 kids who were at Ford Field this weekend. for Battle Cry. the most amazing experience. it was SOOOO awesome to see every single person in that stadium jumping up and down, screaming their lungs out, lifting up their hands, standing on their seats, singing their hearts out...all to praise Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.
ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE?
it was so cool to see so many kids come down and say "I want the Cross!" and right there in ford field on friday night they vowed to "get out of the pig pen" and stop living the life the world tells them to and to start living again for Jesus.
James 4:4
"Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God."
OH OH, THIS IS OUR WAR CRY
OH OH, THIS IS OUR BATTLE CRY
ps: new layout. check it out.
pss: i would like comments on this. you dont have to, but i would like to know what you all think about this.

Cause I don't want to get stuck in here
When I am thirty-four just talking about high school years
No I don't want to be there an I feel so stuck right here
Back and forth side to side oh my dear
My foot to the floor I will drive to the place
Where I can kick it with friends through the night
A place well talk about now and the past what the future holds
Hanging out with not much to do
Just aimless with each other is what we do
cd's i want:
all american rejects (old & new)
mae (the everglow)
rocket summer (hello, good friend)
armor for sleep
so, if anyone could burn one or
more of those for me, i could supply
you with the blank cd(s) necessary
to do so. please and thank you. ♥
