  1. <+Tird_Ape> I look back on the days when I was the happiest growing up. There seemed to be no problems in the world and everything was simple. Every morning there would be the sweet smell of bacon sizzling in the skillet. However, as Robert Frost once said “Nothing gold can stay” Immediately I was confused about what this meant. The innocent thoughts of a 9 year old puzzled my growing brain. Unlike most people my age, my innocence came to an abrupt stop very early on. My parents separated. At first I was outraged and could not believe this would happen to me! I was a selfish kid who didn’t think about others, a second grader with no concerns in the world. Weeks and months flew by like skydivers speeding towards the ground, I had to accept it and live with this new circumstance.
  2. [17:27] <+Tird_Ape> In hindsight perhaps this could be seen as a positive. A traumatic event in my live had caused me to mature and become a better person. So many people have never had something in their life that causes them to grow up and take responsibility. There was this sudden urge to prove myself to everyone around me. No longer would I sit by the marble fireplace listening to stories my mother read such as The Giving Tree. No longer would I let my life slip by without purpose. There was a hole in my life which I needed to fill in order to please myself. Before long, I had taken countless endeavors I had never thought possible such as being a starting soccer goalie on the recreation team and joining the PACE group at my school. PACE was a small class based group where you worked on difficult problems in areas such as math and reading. From my experiences in there, It made me feel isolated and yet intelligent. I still remember how great my dad grinned when the opposing soccer team scowled at how the goalie could block anything. As time flew by, it comes to the part of where I am today. That is being ready to take the next step, no matter what will be on the other side. There have been countless challenges in my short time on this planet, but with enough perseverance and good attitude, anything can be accomplished.
