Don't worry there's always another light! (Words of Encouragement)

I (CM) felt touched and emotional today when the class got their SHSAT scores back. I just felt like posting it. You don't have to read it, it's just something I wrote during free period. You may be inspired or bored to death. Either way, it might or might not help. I hope it encourages people to live up to their lives and learn to get up and keep on going. I hope I at least tried to inspire one person.

"I've realized there are more and other things in life other than grades and acedemics. I didn't get into the SHSAT school, any of them. I expected it. Instead of bawling because I didn't get in, cried for other things. Sure, my plans for the future are long gone, but I know there I have limits. I know what I could achieve, acomplish, renew.

I feel all warm, hot right now, but cold and refreshed. Realization has hit me, or at least I noticed it. To me, right now, the letter whispered me to move on. My teacher gave me words of inspiration. Friends, real people, expressed what I was looking for. To show sympathy for others, and to care. I've seen the true side of the indiviuals, I know they have a heart.
.................................................................
I have a friend who couldn't make it at all, disqualified. I wanted to tell her "no it's not over". And even if she had to lose her life in NYC, her friends, her loves, her needs, there's a reason for it. You have to lose a dream in order to learn how to understand and feel the feeling of relief and glory. There's a reason for everything, most likely for the better. You probably have an unopened door ahead. It's an unnoticeable light. The thing is, you have to reach for it and catch it.
Those equal signs in our lives are only the prespectives of our results."

Yes I have no life, deal with it. It's only an open-eye-er, words of encourage ment. I was sniffling when I wrote this (yes I was the one making that sound lol), and really emotional. Yes it's lame, but it's the best I can do. It upsets me when others are upset, I want to cheer you guys up. You aren't failures, you just tripped and fell. Sure you'll have a scar, but it'll heal, and soon you'll be going down new road. It's long an stupid but for now just get over that fact. (ps: I love this class)

(pps: if you ever want to post thing's like this, personal messages to the class, words of encouragement, e-mail me at rawritscmdx@gmail.com)
