Moving on.

Well it’s near to finishing my state high school forever... it’s kind of scary but I can’t wait!  I’m sorry but school was so ridiculously hard for me.

Grade 11 I refused to change, and make choices that my friends I had grown up with decided to make, these choices didn’t agree with my Christian values and sensibility and so I moved on knowing the consequences I would have to take for doing the right thing.

People didn’t want to hang out with a Christian who has strong faith and love for her God as well as not supporting some of their choices. I was still there for others, but with some after I helped them with their problems... well I didn’t hear about them till next time they needed someone to talk to.

And then there were all the bullies! And when I stood up for myself and my beliefs.... far out I might as well have committed a murder! The hog wash I got for doing the right thing, CRICKEY!!

On top of that some teachers were unsupportive and really didn’t seem to care, which didn’t help with some of the situations I was in.

Made new friends...lost some...moved on...grew up...laughed...cried.

But through all that I kept my cool, I didn’t treat others badly because of the way I felt and my problems. I had to try so hard to do the right thing, be the kind of person that at the end of the day can look back and think, “Yes, I’m proud of the way I treated others today and held myself together.”

God really helped me of course, I don’t want to know what could have happened if I hadn’t listened to Him and kept doing the right thing.

True if I didn’t do the right thing it would have made my life so much easier. But if you play the game the way the world does, people will get hurt! And that’s no good, so I’m here to say...

You can do it!!

Keep your cool, and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

If you do the right thing and people are rude and disrespectful to you... well then they are missing out on a great person! :)

Besides it works out in the end. I thought no one noticed or cared, but they did and so many people commented on my graduation signing quilt saying how I am a beautiful person and to not change. WOW! :)

Well, if I haven’t changed with what I have been through already then I’m never going to change! :)

And neither should you if you are a good respectful person then please don’t change! Not for anyone or anything!

You are beautiful the way you are, don’t listen to the rubbish others may say.

Listen to God, He is always right, so wouldn’t it be a great idea to do what he says? :)

And when in doubt, think, WWJD (What would Jesus do?) ;)
