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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
