Just an Ordinary Girl

A Little Prayer Can Go A Long Way Have to you ever had the thought to stop your day and just thank the Good Lord that you are alive and surviving life? That little nudging in the back of your mind and heart that you need to slow down to give the creator some of your time? Or the thought that maybe you should be a little more careful in life?  I have on many occasions.  I have always tried to respond to these thoughts quickly or disaster can hit, or just a bad day. I never know what will happen next in life, and these promptings can really help me. This day was no different......a little prayer can go a long way. It all started on a hot July morning. I was talking to my mom and the idea hit me to drive out for the long weekend. I didn't have class or work so why not go and be with my family. It had been a while and I missed them dearly.  After I hung up with a excited mom, I started to pack for the drive. I had to finish some homework and go to work then...

  Just an ordinary girl I am a thirteen year old lump of life... .I have no purpose, no reason, no not anything......         I am just an ordinary girl, and this is my story...... I walk through the halls of school I get those half looks, wow she's fat! Does she even talk to anyone. Living duel lives. At school I am a quiet shy person, I stick to the walls, stare at the floors, watch my shoes go by. I am a no body, no one notices. At home I am myself....or who I think I should be myself. I talk, I am open but does anyone really know who I am? I am a human being of billions of people, who even cares? Who am I? Do I even matter? What's the point to all this? No one cares about me. No one would even be sad if I left. I am a fat no good for nothing lump. I hate everything. I can't do anything right. Life just stinks, what the heck am I suppose to do here?  Today I walked home from school slowly, depressed, determined that no one loves ...

From Ordinary to Extraordinary I may be just an ordinary girl, but what does that even mean? Being ordinary according to the dictionary means to be someone with no special abilities or distinctive features. Well that just means that I am no one special right? Are you thinking what I am thinking? Well I guess that means I can't do anything important in life. Well that is wrong!! You can do anything you put your mind to. I mean that with all of my heart, I was there once but I took charge of my life and changed it. I came from a family with a dad who is a high school drop out, neither parents made it through college and we lived a hard life. I was taught hard work and to life with what you have. For the longest time I thought I couldn't be anything in my life. I was just going to be who everyone else thought I could be. Which for most of us usually means more negative that positive. There are a lot of people who have great families that push them to aspire to hig...

Let me tell you that you learn through trials and challenges, you grown from those challenges. How do you become a stronger person? How do you gain the strength to stand up to your demons and carry on? We go through challenges and we take them as a challenge. We all go though hard challenges, believe me I know.
