GAME - GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

New school year, new goals……

Story of the first dayMY LIFE IN ONE WORD IS EASY — BLESSED. MY LIFE IN 200 WORDS IS A LITTLE HARDER. HERE ARE SOME WORDS FROM THE BEGINNING; AFRAID, SAD, NOT WORKING HARD, LAZY, POOR, HUNGRY, NOT APPRECIATING THINGS, HAVING NEGATIVE ATTITUDES, TALKATIVE AND MISBEHAVING .BUT THAT WAS ONLY PART OF IT. MIX IN LAUGHTER, RESPECT, HARD WORK, FAMILY, EDUCATION AND ADVENTURE AND THE PICTURE BECOMES A LITTLE CLEARER. WORDS AND NUMBERS HAVE ALWAYS PLAYED A BIG PART IN MY LIFE. READING AND WRITING WERE MY ESCAPE, AND SOLVING PROBLEMS WAS THE SOLUTION FOR MANY THINGS IN MY LIFE. SCHOOL WAS MY REFUGE. FAST FORWARD TWENTY YEARS AND I STILL LOVE WORDS AND NUMBERS. FAMILY IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT, BUT THOSE FIRST WORDS HAVE CHANGED TO HAPPY, JOYOUS, STRONG, HOPEFUL, HARD WORKING, BEHAVING AND HAVING POSITIVE ATTITUDES.. NOW I’M SAVED, SET FREE, AT UNI WORKING HARD TO ACHIEVE WHAT I WANT. I UNDERSTOOD THAT WITHOUT WORDS AND NUMBERS I CAN’T REACH NOWHERE. LIFE ISN’T PERFECT, IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT WORKING HARD AND USING THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE THAT IS ENOUGH. NEVER GIVE UP; YOUR WORDS CAN CHANGE TOO AND YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE TOO TO THE BETTER.HAVE A GOOD YEAR.
