Grace Powell Post and Comments

Throughout my years of life, I’ve struggled. I haven’t always been the prettiest, the nicest, the funniest, or even the smartest person in the room. That’s perfectly okay though, sometimes you don’t have to be the best of the best. I personally thank Riverside High School for teaching me that. I have had most things handed to me throughout my life.

I have been taught to work and learn, but I’ve never been forced to do these things. I have two very great parents, and they struggle, I’ve seen it first hand and I know they aren’t the only ones.

Currently, my papa is dying. He’s planning his funeral and writing down everything he wants to take place in the ongoing situation. He’s going through things and giving all his grandchildren things to remember him by. He’s giving me his pistol, and while that may not seem much to anyone else. I will forever be grateful for that pistol, because he chose me to take care of it for him. Even when he’s struggling for the next breath, he is thinking of us.

 We all struggle sometimes, and it’s very natural. Some things are harder to some, and easy for others. I believe that God never gives you something you can’t handle. Sure, he might throw a curveball your way and you may think your world is falling apart, but he knows you’re capable of overcoming it. You struggle, and that’s okay, take it as a challenge and beat it.

Lexi Hall- I couldn’t agree more with what you said. My parent’s stepped out of their comfort zone a few years back and changed our family forever. My parent’s used to be very stuck up, lazy(when not at work), never wanted to try new things or go places. However that all changed and it has taught me to adventure, and experience. You only get this life once, live it with all you got.

 Kaitlyn Reed- I agree with what you said. I think putting yourself out there is what everyone should do. I hate when people are like “why do you like her so much, she doesn’t seem that fun.” but that’s only from their point of view. You don’t always see a part of a person as someone else does.

 Brittany Fulcher- I couldn’t agree more. I believe in second chances too, I believe that everyone has good in their heart. I wish that were true, but sometimes it’s not and that’s okay. You have to be yourself, and if that means leaving others behind for your happiness, so be it. You can’t live your life to please others, don’t hold back any anger, just let it go and be you!
