MSJHS Senior Ball 2015--Anna & Friends

MSJ Senior Ball 2015--Hairol’s Group

Something I struggle with is being positive with everything in life. Sometimes it's so hard to realize all the positive things in life and a lot of the positive things have to do with myself and other people. I'm not sure if there's something I'm angry about and I feel the need to see all the negative things in people. But sometimes I just feel so down about everything and I basically hate life which is such a negative thing. At times like this I need to really calm down and think about all the positive things I have in my life because there are a lot. And sometimes I feel like I'm being ungrateful which is so wrong, I have to realize that there's a lot I should be thankful for in life. Sometimes I just have to focus on the positive rather than the negative. Exhale the negative, inhale the positive.

One thing in my life that I have overcome is when my parents got a divorce. At first, it was really hard to take and adjust to everything especially at the age of 10. I felt that I was one to blame and I didn't really understand why. It was a very life changing moment. From that moment on, I had to grow up and deal with everything that was going on. For example, the fact that I had two houses now. Ever seen then, things have gotten better. My parents don't argue as much as they did before. There are still things that are challenging but I've learned that there's always a way around things. And I can say that I'm starting to see the brighter side to things. The biggest life lesson that I have learned is that broken or apart, family is family no matter what. At first I thought that it was my moms fault and I used to tell her that I hated her. And it's probably one of things that I wish I could take back but I've learned that it wasn't and I was wrong to act the way I did. I love all my family members and no what I'll always be there for them.

Something I would like to overcome is my inability to pick my battles. I have a tendency to argue about either pointless things or basically anything. I really want to learn how to learn how to pick my battles. I get frustrated in myself when I end up yelling or crying over a very small argument that I have had with my parents. I want to learn how to be more rational when I speak and bring a sense of eloquence to everything I say so that what I say can be taken into higher consideration. Learning how to choose your battles will seriously help me with future endeavors and conversations that I will have in the future.

Here's a throwback Tuesday to our graduating seniors from last year! They left such a huge positive mark on Peer Resource and helped make Peer more known by our school and now we're trying to use their work ethic and accomplish even more to make them proud! Thank you so much Class of '13 for teaching us so much, we love you and we know you all are doing great things wherever you may be. This is just one memory we have and we know you must have a lot of memories you love talking about so come out to our Peer Talk tomorrow on Memories and share with us! We'd love to hear them! So join us tomorrow in B33 during lunch for a delightful talk about our favorite memories.  “Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.”  ― Marcel Proust
