HARD TIMES

A few days ago, I had some “hard times” because of disciplinary action due to my grades.

And guess what? It didn’t kill me!

I had some things going on with me and I ended up getting my priorities all out of whack. I wasn’t so focused on school anymore and I just didn’t get the necessary points. At first, I was pretty disappointed in myself and so were my parents, especially since I was supposed to have my very first off grounds visit that same weekend. My mom even took off work and everything. But I knew sitting around feeling sorry for myself wasn’t going to help me get back up and on track with graduation. So, I sat down one night and really looked at everything I could possibly do to get out of trouble so I made goals for myself I am currently working to completing those goals. I see how consistency is a huge part of being an upper level and living my life the way I want to live it. I actually made a plan for myself for when I get back up to where i was. I am going to keep my school in check. Something that helps me when times seem to get rough is to always keep in mind that this is all a part of becoming what I really want to be and living up to who I really am. I am meant to be something far greater than what I, at times, give myself credit for and continuing to learn these lessons and facing what is in front of me is all a part of that.

I am a beautiful, amazing, worthy, and strong young woman and there is no “hard time” in the world that could ever kill me. I can get through it all and I will.
