Things I've Learned in life

1. Theres nothing more important than family and spending time with them. Friends will always come and go, but family stays the same. and youve gotta spend time with them because theyre not always going to be here and theyre the reason youre here and theres nothing greater than people that will love you no matter what. you need to enjoy that while youre here and theyre here and never ever turn your back on family because thats all you have in life.

2. Life is all about people and the relationships you create with those people. you cant make it through life alone, so dont even try. be nice to people and theyll be nice back and your life will be soo much better.

3. The elderly really know what theyre talking about. if you get an opprotunity to ever sit and talk with an old person, do it, they really are interesting. They were there for all the history youve studied and they know it firsthand. if you dont understand history, your doomed to repeat it.

4. Probably the most important thing I've learned is that Jesus Christ is the greatest thing that couldve ever happened to the world. For any man to come and do what he did, theres just nothing greater than that. this summer ive really gotten back into church and have been going for the past couple months and its just made my life so much better. knowing that someone could love you through everything youve ever done and could still give his own life for you, thats just the greatest thing ever. i never really was a bad kid or anything, i just got out of touch with God and that stuff but ive gotten back with it a little bit the last few months and im still not a great Christian but ive seen everything Jesus can do and its just completely amazing.

5. Time flies by so fast, cherish every moment you get. Just being a Senior heading into my final school year, just looking back and realizing how fast time flies by, i remember 1st and 2nd grade just like it was yesterday. i remmeber starting at Moore West in 7th grade and wanting so bad to be at Westmoore and be ready to graduate and be able to drive and go to college. Now that its coming up, i want the time to just stop and be able to spend time with people and not grow old and not have any responsiblity

6. Always be open to change, sometimes your first plan isn't the best plan. I cant think just off the top of my head a great example of that, and thats all the plans ive had for me for after high school. Ive had so many plans of what ive wanted to do with my life and ive finally settled on that i want to be a head coach at a Division 1 football school. And just with that ive had about 6 different plans, and Ive finally settled on goign to South Dakota State and being a student assistant, and im still just about 80% sure of that idea, and im still open to other ideas, but thats the best ive heard so far.

7. Everybody has to grow up sometime. Everybody will have to take on responsibility at some point in their life. Ive had my first couple of jobs this year and its been alot of responsibility and everybody has to do it.

8. Something that really makes me mad is when people get mad because theyre like 16 and they dont have a boyfriend or girlfriend. News flash, YOUR 16! you still have your whole damn life ahead of you, calm down. youll find someone.

thats about it for now...haha
