Someone in my life who inspires me is my dad. My dad does so much for my life from building things for my room to fixing my car. My dad has always been a provider for my family and has given up so much of himself. He spends countless hours working so my siblings and I can have the things we want. When my sister and I wanted to repaint our room and redo our flooring, he called out of work and took us to Home Depot to buy the supplies we needed. When I wanted to learn how to put in the flooring, he took the time to teach me. He took the time even though it slowed down the process and made us work a couple more hours. I am forever grateful to my dad for teaching me the things I know and giving my family and I everything we could need.

I’ve been thinking about this topic for a while now trying to find an animal that suits me. I’ve grown a lot over the past years and along with that, my inner animal has also changed. I believe my inner animal now is a horse. Specifically the leader of the herd. I have found myself taking care of those around me whom I love and care about. I also relate to a horse because I can be very protective and I can find myself taking charge of things. The more I find myself thinking about it, the more I find myself relating to a horse when thinking about my personality.

"this is me trying" - by Taylor Swift
I've been having a hard time adjusting I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting I didn't know if you'd care if I came back I have a lot of regrets about that Pulled the car off the road to the lookout Could've followed my fears all the way down And maybe I don't quite know what to say But I'm here in your doorway I just wanted you to know That this is me trying I just wanted you to know That this is me trying They told me all of my cages were mental So I got wasted like all my potential And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad I have a lot of regrets about that I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere Fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here Pouring out my heart to a stranger But I didn't pour the whiskey I just wanted you to know That this is me trying I just wanted you to know That this is me trying At least I'm trying And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town And I just wanted you to know That this is me trying (And maybe I don't quite know what to say) I just wanted you to know That this is me trying At least I'm trying |
This song is one that I’ve found myself listening to a lot to this year. Not only because I find myself relating but because it puts my feelings into words. The past couple of months have been challenging. I’ve struggled with things I wouldn’t normally struggle with. Not only do I feel like a failure, but it has felt like I can’t get anything right. The main message of this song is that it is okay to have flaws and the most important thing is to try and not give up. I remind myself that it is okay to not always be successful and all that matters is if I’m trying and don’t give up.

A peer in leadership who has done a lot of selfless things this year is Gia. Along with being an ASB Officer, she plays a huge role with the Junior Class. Being an ASB officer is not an easy job and taking the time to help with Junior class events such as Homecoming and Winterfest is amazing. No matter how busy, she will always take the time and help with sketching, drawing, and bring so many creations to live.
