YOUR RUNNING SOMEONE ELSES RACE.
Do you ever wonder if you’re running a race that’s not yours, or the gun shot and everyone is already ahead of you? What do you do then? Most people would say give up because if they are already way ahead why try. This gets me thinking, about how this is in with everything I am going through now.
School and grades, I admit I had the worst grades but that was because I really did lose the race, I felt like I was running someone else’s race and why should I try if I am losing. I just didn’t do what I knew I could. I paid for it too, I could have gotten into algebra this year but instead I am in a really slow group in a way, I am the only one that raises my hand really. I am working hard this year because I realized that it’s not someone else’s race it’s everyone’s race, just one race for everyone where everyone can win but no one tries to or wants to; it’s a race were the gun shot goes off when no one is ready and by the time they realize that the race started they just give up and don’t even try, it’s a race where everyone can win but no one does. I guess you can call it a race of life. But also I want to prove those kids that called me dumb wrong, just because I am not in the smartest group does not mean I am dumb it just means I did not try hard the year before. on the last day of school my mom brought me to the principals office because she was scared I would fail the 8th grade, he looked at my grades and looked me straight in the face and said, ” You are right Karen, why try when you clearly are to dumb to even make the honor roll.” that got me mad and I wanted to prove him wrong but each report card I had a C in either science or Spanish, but this turn I got an A in Spanish and a B in science, so I am going to prove him wrong.
Drama and friends, this is a big factor. A girl in my school that uses to be my friend said the worst thing to me, “Karen why should I be nice to you, you’re not even worth it, because your nothing and you have no friends.” I am not going to lie this hurt me a little, but this is one of those times when you know who your real friends are. My best friend Asiastopped the girl as she was walking and said, “HOLD UP! Don’t you talk to her like that; you should not say that coming from someone that only has sympathy friends because they feel bad for you having no one. And you should speak for yourself because I for one am happy to be Karen’s friend and I are happy she is not your friend because you don’t deserve a wonderful girl like her to give you advice and drop everything because you need help with something.”
But you know those days when you feel like everything can’t get any worse. Like this morning when I was getting off the bus I tripped and fell, perfect way to start the morning. Then I trip in front of my crush. Want to know how I lived through the rest of the day? I laughed, I fell off the bus I laughed and joked about it, I tripped in front of him, I laughed and said “well this is a great way to say hello.” he laughed back. See now when you are feeling like you can’t hold on anymore, or your going to break down; just laugh, about something that happened that was funny or turn the bad thing and look at it in a good way. Like falling in front of my crush was a bad thing but now we have something to joke about with each other.
I will end my post with this. I thought about it after writing a post before about if tomorrow will be better; I thought of something to answer it by and I think it works for both posts.
You can’t have a better tomorrow when you are always thinking about yesterdays mistakes.
Think about that
