The Hard Times

The month of February was a very hard time for me. It was a time of fault for me and nothing was going right in my life. My girlfriend had broken up with me and I lost my job and I was kicked out of my house. I started hanging out with the wrong group of people then I started doing the wrong things. I started drinking and doing all types of drugs that my parents wouldn't approve of me doing. First I started off smoking cigarettes then I was getting drunk and I needed something stronger to make me feel better. So I started smoking weed and drinking liquor all day and every day. Then that got old and I needed something stronger and more risk taking so I started snorting powdered cocaine and that made me feel unstoppable and fearless. It made me feel a way nothing else could ever do to me. My parents found out that was doing these drugs because I was skipping school and not showing up for practice. I thought I was Tony Montana the way that I was doing those drugs. I also lost all of my scholarships to play football and my whole life. Nobody wanted to talk to me or be around me anymore because I was a drug addict and would do anything just to get a hit. I was stealing things and breaking into peoples houses and robbing them for everything they had and trading them in. I evened pawned the two football state championship rings that I had for just one more hit. I am currently in rehab right now trying to stay sober and not get addicted to the drugs again.

In January, I was...

In January, I was coming back to school from my long christmas break.  My christmas break was a very exciting christmas break, once in a lifetime experience.  During my christmas break I didn’t have to go to school for the last week because I couldn’t be there.  I couldn’t be there because I was one of the very select few to be selected to play in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas.  The Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas is a football all-star game that has the best football players in South Carolina play against the ones in North Carolina to help raise money for the children in the Shriners hospital.  The Shriners hospital is a very familiar place to me because my niece was once a patient there.  Of course the team that I was on, South Carolina, won.  The experience to play in a game like that is very amazing.  You get to play with some of the players that defeated you in the regular season and even players that you defeated.  Some of the players in the game are just unbelievable. I had a good time at the game and my friends and family came out and watched me and helped to support the Shriners hospital for children.

What should you do?

What would you do if you had only a day to live? Would you sit back and just let time pass you by or would go out and have fun and live it up? It is a hard decision to make because your life is on the line and you still haven’t done all of the things you want to do in your life.  So would choose just to stay at home and let time pass by and not talk to anybody. Not even their family, they would rather be alone with no one around. I know I would do all the things I wanted to do before I died and talk to my family and everyone I love and talk to them and tell them how much I love them. Who knows the right choice to make? You know the right choice to make because it is the way you want it to happen and no one can tell you wrong because it is your life. So you pick the way you want and don’t let anyone tell you what you should do. You will know what you want and want it to be the right way for you so you are comfortable.
