You make your own hell


HELL......... It's my firm belief that we make our own hell. Don't be a person that takes the knife of evil and pierce your heart of good. Do not stab the sharp point of sadness and hatred into your own beating and pumping heart full of love and forgiveness. Don't give in to anger for anger only destroys the chances of healing. Life has many doors. O Some are merely closed because you haven't tried to open them. Some you haven't even thought to open. What you see locked could very well be unlocked and waiting to be opened. It's your decisions that make the impossible possible. Don't sit in misery and think oh what hell my life is. Life is what you make it. No matter what happens in life it's ultimately up to you to choose how respond with what is thrown or even forced down your throat. You can choke what is shoved down your throat and accept it and die or you can spit it out and be the hero of your own life. Be the hero you read in the comics. Be the superman of your world. Be the Batman of your family. Be the Wonder Woman of your life. We all hold great power, and to let ones power be corrupted by the evils of violence, and tragedy is to give up one’s life and put it in the hands of the undeserving. Life throws brimstone and fire at us. Life tears our mind apart at times, but it's what we do with what we have that makes the difference. BE YOUR OWN SUPER HERO!!

To succeed or not to succeed that is the question of my birth. Having ADHD, and Autism, has both helped me, and limited me, in all matters of life socially, mentally, and or emotionally. I hate labels. They limit one’s life in several ways, but in the face of all of this I’ve grown into myself, a person that loves and a social butterfly that works well with others in all sorts of ways, and is a very determined person. My entire life has been full of people bullying me, judging me, and or not seeing me for my full potential based on not how I look but on my diagnosis. Despite this judgment, I have grown tremendously my need for understanding and search for life’s many opportunities in my child hood has broadened my vocabulary, and in doing so has made me a well-practiced debtor, orator, writer, an amazingly funny actor, and a great teller of jokes. I have broken through walls, and have been the band aid for lots of my friends. People call me passionate, energetic, driven, and artistic but that’s just the tip of the iceberg I’m that and much more as are we all. One of my mom’s many favorite memories of me was performing the chicken dance in a chicken suite for a talent show at the Pima Community college for Arts 4 All. My mom has made part of who I am, she taught me to always try my best and as long as I try my best that’s all that matters. Because of this I’ve been accepted into the National Honor Society, as well as the National Society of High School Scholars. Her Encouragement made me want to join the Cub, and Boy Scouts which led to me getting honor role. Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as you mind lets you. What you believe, you can achieve - Mary Kay Ash. The quote from this American Business woman describes my belief and this feeling of my life’s unlimited possibilities has made me into who I am. My personal motto for life has helped me along for as long as I can remember , “If you continue doing what you’ve always done you will continue being what you’ve always been nothing in your life will ever change unless you make it change” If I had continued to not care about school in 2nd grade. I would’ve never had joined the Academic Decathlon my sophomore year, and I probably would’ve taken and failed the AIMS multiple times. This world we all live in has shown me that no matter what comes at you in life one can always push away all the dirt and rocks off you and grow into a beautiful tree forever changing the lives, and world around them.
