I believe there is one good thing to be found in every day. Although every day may not be perfect, I have learned to find the best in every single one of them. While I’ve only lived fourteen years, I have experienced each one fly by, full of good days, bad days, and days that won’t matter in a decade. But each day deserves to be looked at equally: as if there is one thing that makes it worth living. Each night before I go to sleep, I write my highlight of the day in a little yellow journal. The entries vary from a line to a page, but the question I ask myself at 9:30 remains the same: what was the best part of today? I don’t go to sleep until I can find one. Some days I’m challenged with having to choose between many, like the day of an action-packed sleepover. Other days it’s truly about appreciating the little moments, like April 19th, 2017: “Maybe the conversation with my friend in the locker room.” One that stands out to me is three words that I don’t remember, but they spoke an infinity on January 16th, 2017. “Car ride back.” …show more content…
That morning, I saw my sister’s face, and knew that Donald Trump was our president. After a long day of holding everything in, I had drama rehearsal in the afternoon. I walked into the room and knew immediately the bad day wasn’t only mine. We sat in a circle with our director, spitting out feelings and opinions. One girl even came in late, with red puffy eyes, and we welcomed her with sympathy. I can’t recall how it came up, but eventually someone decided to order a slice of pizza. When you’re angry and exhausted on a Wednesday afternoon, nothing sounds better than pizza, and suddenly everyone became
Richard Rohr wrote five essential truths that if we take some minutes to analyze them, we will notice their reality with us. We are just one person with much valuble stuff to offer and just with one life to live along with others. Each day is just a miracle and we should take advantage of
In my life I experience a lot of hardships and heartbreak. I believe going through hard times can be a good thing because I learn more about myself, how I handle situations, and it may also teach me to be more humble. Life is tough and sometimes I have to face my challenges, but I don’t have to face my problems alone. Some say a dog is a man’s best friend. It’s because a dog can read

I close this essay with a message to anyone who may be reading this or even have the same troubles as me.

Everyday is a chance to do something you would have never dreamed of doing and a chance to make society a better place. That is the beautiful thing about being an American, every person has the right and the opportunity to be incredible. When I get out of bed in the morning, I make it my personal mission to take advantage of my opportunities and make the world a better place. I believe that incredible things can be done through the smallest or largest actions. Last year, I saw the impact one baseball game can have on an entire community. That event taught me that because I have the right, I have the obligation to do the things I can to improve the lives of others everyday.
That night I couldn't go to sleep.Every inch of me was wide awake and full of excitement.Holding onto every sign of morning I drifted off.Before I knew I was

I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I entered high school I changed the way I thought. This is why I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me.
I am sentimental, out-going, indecisive, understanding, curious, naive, lazy, and young. I want to be ... , well a lot of things, and growing is discovering what they are. I feel people cannot see the potential within, although there is no one to blame but myself. I look to others for approval instead of to myself. I aim to please; it leads to approval. I don’t like to discuss my faults; I pity myself.
The light from the sun reflects off the pure white wall, illuminating the room. The dust floats, undisturbed by the empty house. This is what I see as I launch myself out the door, into the hot summer air, into the sounds of playing children.
After a quick breakfast, I pulled some of my gear together and headed out. The car ride of two hours seemed only a few moments as I struggled to reinstate order in my chaotic consciousness and focus my mind on the day before me. My thoughts drifted to the indistinct shadows of my memory.
Three small words can bring inner happiness to me and others. Having the ability to change your attitude towards life and what defines one will create a feeling of peace. Living your life can bring good and bad regrets, but by the choice we make can bring happiness, and a meaningful life. The goal of this essay is to show what credo I live by and what defines me as a person. Having the power to live with the choices I had made, determination towards a goal, and finding a deeper meaning to life.
... that you can be each day that goes by. Personal excellence is not an intention; it is a way of living, a religion, something you eat, drink and breathe, something ingrained deep within your soul. Excelling is not about searching for excuses to show things can’t get done. It’s about caring more than others think is wise; risking more than others think is safe; dreaming more than others think is practical and expecting more than others think is possible. Excellence is not a skill, it’s an attitude; it is not an act, but a habit.
