Faith and Church have always been important to who I am

My Faith Has Always Been A Part Of My Life
Prayer

For those who know me, they know me as a person that would not give up on his dream. In life, it should always be that way, but I can not speak for everyone, therefore I can only speak about my life. I was raised by mother, grandmother, aunt and uncles, My dad moved to Florida, but still is active in my life. I have an older brother who calls me his” younger older brother” which means I give him advice. Not only am I a brother, son, uncle, nephew, grandson, but most importantly I am a Child of God. For that reason, I can not give up on my dream in life.

For starters, I always liked going to church with my grandma. From when I was five to even know at the age of 19, I still enjoying being active in my church. The church knows me well and knows that at a young age I walk in the path of God, they know me for my strong beliefs and that my faith is stronger than most younger men. When you know what you want then you let God lead you to the right path.

Not only do I thank my mom, dad, grandmothers for supporting me through my journey, but I have to mention, Ms. Sandra Knight. Ms. Knight was a grandma to and the reason I wrote about her in my article after she died. Ms.Knight not only treated me like another grandson, but she encouraged me to keep walking in the path of God. Always praying for me and telling me to be strong. She knew as you get older it is easy to slip away from the goals, but Ms.Knight telling you that keeping God in your life will always remind you of what you are suppose to doing in life.

Finding God at such a young age, and remembering his word that he teaches us how to live, motivates me to do better and be a better person. I may not have everything, but knowing God’s riches and glory mean much more than anything. I trust him, even when things go wrong and I have to start with a plan B. My life it is based on giving up, it is based on one day telling my testimony and how God brought be over to bigger and better things in life. That God will lead me to make it in life. That I am a conqueror.

In conclusion, my life it not based on seeing what party to go to next, what can I do to try and impress my friends. It is being the person God created and wants me to. I like creating new material, like my youtube channel, writing for Odyssey and helping someone else in need. My life might sound boring, but God has a plan for me and I will stick with that plan. When I was born, I did not have to make it out of the hospital after I came out and was found not breathing, but since I am I truly am proud to worship God and not give up on my dreams of what he wants me to be! This is my life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
