Is This True to You To?
What I know to be true is that no one can control your life but you. I used to think that you cant make your own choices without asking your mom, your dad or even your teacher. Think about it, well at least for me. I felt that my whole life was just a repeat of something I did before. In the morning I wake up, go to school, go home from school, do homework, go on the computer, do chores. none of those were my decisions. my mom would wake me up and send me to school, my teacher would make me do my work and go home, then the rest is my mom again! I hated it so I decided to talk control. I joined a military programme called Junior Canadian Rangers, it’s a fun group that lets you decide what you want to do and it gives you options. Now I learned how to make my own decisions and I discovered that life does give you choices. For example you can live your life to the fullest or you can mope around feeling sorry for yourself. Personally, about a year ago I chose to live my life to the fullest and I travelled to BC with the JCR’s ( the group I told you about earlier) and I went zip-lining, kayaking, mountain climbing, climbed 50 foot trees, canoed, did a high ropes course, and more. but my favorite part would have to be meeting all of the amazing people along the way. but don’t get me wrong, everyone has through rough patches. I used to hurt my body on purpose to try and take control of my life. until a great friend made me realize that all I was doing was hurting myself and not doing anything good. so I stopped. I may not be the smartest person on earth or the greatest inventor of all time, but if there’s one thing I do know, it’s that no one can run your life but you.
