The Help I Tried To Give.....

I don't know why, but I just can't give up

The Help I Tried To Give.....
Caitlynn Ledet

This past semester I went through an enormous amount of struggles and obstacles. Stress was heavily weighed on my shoulders throughout the semester from various things, but somehow, I made it. There will always be light at the end of the tunnel, but the biggest question you have to ask yourself is, "Am I willing to put in the work for my desired result?" You are the only one who can help you. Nobody can do your life for you, so you have to give it your all.

Throughout my semester, I found myself, my talent, and my outlook on life. You can either be optimistic or pessimistic. I live my life with an optimistic outlook and try to spread my positivity onto others. No matter what I was going through this semester, I wouldn't think twice to help someone if it was needed. I spent numerous amount of hours talking to friends, sisters, and family. I listened to their problems and gave my best advice, but they didn't always take it. It was like I was wasting my time because it went through one ear and out the other. This slowly made me angered because I was like whats the point. I then realized that it will matter and mean something to them one day.

Although they didn't listen or take the advice I just gave them for the situation, they will learn from it later. All of my friends come to me for advice. I am their go-to person for inspiration, positivity and motivation. No matter what is going on I will always be here for anyone and everyone. I have learned to be selfless and give to others. I am that girl who always has a Bible verse or quote for every situation. My life quote is, "Everything happens for a reason." I live day and night by this quote because no matter if my life is good or bad it all has a purpose.

One of my favorite Bible verses is, "I can do all thing through Christ my Lord, Who strengthens me." I believe that no matter what you want in life, if you want it bad enough you will get it. The best feeling to get is helping others and never asking for something in return, but I understand this can be tough at times. You invest your time into individuals who will continue with their old ways and let what you said go through one ear and out the other ear. Always remember that it is for a reason and it will mean something someday. No matter what happens always give it your all and help others because I promise in the end, you will notice the impact you made.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
