The Help I Tried To Give.....

I don't know why, but I just can't give up

The Help I Tried To Give.....
Caitlynn Ledet

This past semester I went through an enormous amount of struggles and obstacles. Stress was heavily weighed on my shoulders throughout the semester from various things, but somehow, I made it. There will always be light at the end of the tunnel, but the biggest question you have to ask yourself is, "Am I willing to put in the work for my desired result?" You are the only one who can help you. Nobody can do your life for you, so you have to give it your all.

Throughout my semester, I found myself, my talent, and my outlook on life. You can either be optimistic or pessimistic. I live my life with an optimistic outlook and try to spread my positivity onto others. No matter what I was going through this semester, I wouldn't think twice to help someone if it was needed. I spent numerous amount of hours talking to friends, sisters, and family. I listened to their problems and gave my best advice, but they didn't always take it. It was like I was wasting my time because it went through one ear and out the other. This slowly made me angered because I was like whats the point. I then realized that it will matter and mean something to them one day.

Although they didn't listen or take the advice I just gave them for the situation, they will learn from it later. All of my friends come to me for advice. I am their go-to person for inspiration, positivity and motivation. No matter what is going on I will always be here for anyone and everyone. I have learned to be selfless and give to others. I am that girl who always has a Bible verse or quote for every situation. My life quote is, "Everything happens for a reason." I live day and night by this quote because no matter if my life is good or bad it all has a purpose.

One of my favorite Bible verses is, "I can do all thing through Christ my Lord, Who strengthens me." I believe that no matter what you want in life, if you want it bad enough you will get it. The best feeling to get is helping others and never asking for something in return, but I understand this can be tough at times. You invest your time into individuals who will continue with their old ways and let what you said go through one ear and out the other ear. Always remember that it is for a reason and it will mean something someday. No matter what happens always give it your all and help others because I promise in the end, you will notice the impact you made.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
