The hard times that you go through build character Forget regret When one door closes, another opens I have no regrets in my life I think that everything happens to you for a reason Making you a much stronger person



Good life, is to be chiefly valued Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today Grow through life Intellectual growth should commence at birth And cease only at death



The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary First we make our habits then our habits make us Stay committed to your decisions Be the change you want to see in the world Nobody ever did, Or ever will escape the consequences of his choices



One of the hardest things in life Is feeling alone with no one to go to, Watching the person you love, love someone else I have found the paradox, That if you love until it hurts, There can be no more hurt, Only more love

Essay of Place:

The True Meaning of Texas Many memories made in a place somewhere unlike what many people are used to. It’s a place where I have spent many of my summers, the small town of Ballinger, Texas is where my Grandparents own 1200 acres. It is here that I have made many memories throughout childhood, many of these are experiences others only dream of. Many of the memories I have are extremely diverse, ranging from working on farm equipment to helping out around the house. I remember all the 5 and 6 o’clock mornings going out to help feed the horses, hearing all of the bird calls, feeling the dew in the air, and smelling as though it had just rained. As I was watching the horses run across the arena I can hear their whinnies. One of my favorite things to do is help out my Grandpa with all of his “toys” that he has. These include the tractors, plows, shredders, cultivators, ATVs, riding lawn mowers, and the arena for the horses. While using the chainsaw to cut down the trees I can feel the sweat running down my face, tasting its saltiness. While helping fix one of the tractors up I see the engine running, feeling the heat put off by it. Riding the ATVs across their land racing my dad and feeling the wind on my face, feeling the weeds hit my legs. Remembering the smell of a skunk, like when my dad was chased back to the house by one while my Grandpa and I stood by laughing hysterically. These are just a few of the memories that I have of a place full of childhood memories. Their farm is a second home to me. It is a place where I am able to escape from the busy city life that I live on a daily life. An example of this escape is waking up to the smell of the French toast that my Grandma has made, all of the scents in the air from cinnamon to the barbecue smell of bacon. Another example is being able to relax around the house while tasting the saltiness of the fresh made popcorn. These are just a few of the ways that I am able to escape to my second home. All of the animals, farm equipment, and “toys” are in a way part of who I am. This is why I find that it is a possibility to find the excitement in life.

Lost Generation:

I realize this may be a shock but "Success comes from hard work" isn’t how it works and "You need to cheat you’re way to the top” In 30 years I will tell my kids that  The likeliness of them getting priority isn’t high  My coworkers will know that  I will be willing to do anything because  Cheating  Is more important  Honest work  I tell you this  Once upon a time  People took pride in their work  But this will not be true in my time  This is a mass production society  Big CEO’s tell me  10 years from now all I will care about is the new thing  I do not concede that  I will live in a world made by me  In the next 20 years  The only thing that will matter is money  No longer can it be said that  My friends and I have intact morals  It will be obvious that  My generation is short sided and unrealistic  It is ridiculous to presume that  We have a chance  And all of this will be true unless we decide to change it
