You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience by which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."

-Eleanor Roosevelt

School has taught me not only how to learn in the classroom, but outside the classroom as well. Where do you think I learned how to climb, swing and skip? Where do you think I learned how to meet my best friend? ^^NOT TAKIN CREDIT^^
SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT HIM I went to a birthday party but I remember what you said. You told me not to drink at all, So I had a Sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The say you said I would that I didnt choose to drink and drive though some friends said I should I knew I made a healthy choice and your advice to me was right as the party finally ended and the kids drove out of sight. I got into my own car, sure to get home in one piece, never knowing what was coming, something I expected least. Now I'm lying on the pavement. I can hear the policeman say "The kid that caused this wreck was drunk" His voice seemed soo far away My own blood surrounded me As I try so hard not to cry, I can hear the paramedic say. "this girl's gonna die, shes not gonna make it through" I'm sure the guy had no clue why he was flying so high because he chose to drink and drive that I would have to die So why do people do this? knowing that it ruins your life and ruins others But now the pain is cuttin me in half like a hundred stabbing knives Tell my sister, and brother not to be afraid Tell daddy to be braved and when I go to heaven to put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave Someone should have taught him that it's wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his mom and dad had, I'd still be alive My breath is getting shorter and shorter I'm gettin real scared of what's coming next These are my final moments and I'm so unprepared I wishthat you could hold me, mom, as I lie here and die I wish that I could say I love you, and good-bye ~~~NOT TAKING CREDIT~~~ Whoever wrote this deserves all of it It's really good

We met in kindergarten. We were best friends. She always told me she loved my eyes. I didn't quite know why. I was in love with her, so of course my face lit up immensely whenever she said it. She was beautiful, kind, and extremely funny. We'd be talking about nothing, and she'd turn to me and whisper, "I like your eyes." One day, I was playing basketball, waiting for her to drive over to my house to have a game with me. Suddenly, I got a phone call. It was her mom. She was in a panic. I couldn't quite understand what she was saying. It sounded like, "Aaron, come quick! Kelsey, accident, Main Street! Blood. Come now!" I had no clue what happened, so I ran to Main Street with my basketball shorts and a tee shirt on. I saw Kelsey's mom helplessly crying, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. I saw a totaled car, blood everywhere. Then I saw her, Kelsey. My heart stopped as I frantically ran over to her. "Kelsey? Kelsey!" She was unconscious. I started crying. I know it isn't very manly, but I couldn't help it. Before I could say anymore, the medics took her away, the main source of blood coming from her head. I went to the hospital that night, I went every night. in fact, the only time I left was to go out to eat, but that's it. The doctors tried getting me to leave, but I refused. It was all my fault. If it wasn't for me, wanting to play basketball with her, she wouldn't be going through this. It was already four days, and she hasn't woken up. On the fifth day, I saw her eyes gently open. "Kelsey?" I called. She wasn't quite awake yet. Suddenly, doctors came rushing in, telling me I had to wait outside. I did, for a few hours. One of the doctors finally came out saying, "I understand that you're Kelsey's friend, Aaron?" "Yes," I whispered. He bit his lip. "She woke up, she's fine, but I'm afraid she has long term memory loss." "Are you serious?" I almost shouted. "I'm afraid so." I didn't meet his gaze. I couldn't. I wasn't going to say anything, so he spoke again. "You can go see her if you want, but she doesn't remember anything, not even her mom." I walked in, trembling in horror. I saw her. She looked helpless as she slept. I waited a few hours, until I saw her eyes opening gently again. I expected doctors to run in, rushing me out. Instead, she looked me straight in the eyes, and whispered, "I don't know you, but I like your eyes."
