I recently learned that if I didn't pursue my dream and do what I loved, I would never be where I am now. I compete on an elite forensics team, and if I didn't pursue my dream to do fantastic I would have been unhappy and not done what I love most. If I hadn't listened to Walt Disney's beautiful quote, I would have been in a major problem.
The main reason I wrote this post was because this week my friend gave up. She scared me by giving up. She told me her life wasn't worth living. I care about her so much and to see her be this willing to give up her life showed me that sometimes people forget the meaning, or worth of our lives. Not only did she want to give up her dream, which she was so close to, but she wanted to give up her life.
The one piece of advice which I have her was that " giving up is the easy way out, not the right way." She has always been a fighter and for her to hear this inspired her to do more with her life. She began to dress better, feel better, and be stronger everyday. I am so grateful for everything she is doing with her life now. She has learned to dream, and she's taught me to dream even more. Cuz as they say, the sky is the limit, and I am going to reach for the stars from now on.
