One smile, can start a friendship.
One word, can start a fight. One look, can save a relationship. One person, can change your life. The power of One, one person, one place, one house, one vacation, one class, one teacher, one waiter, one friend, one neighbor, could change your life. One smile, one glance, one please, one thank you, one word, can change everything. Now that might sound extreme, but think about it. Have you ever had that one random thought that stuck with you and you have no clue why? There is a reason it stuck with you. Every single thing that happens to you, happens for a reason. Whether its a fight with a friend or family member, a bad grade in a class, someone special passing away, all happens for a reason. All the people you meet now and you have no clue who they are, could have a huge impact on your life. Another student in your freshman English class could be your college room mate, the cute waiter who served you dinner could be your future husband, the girl who you hated all through out high school, could be your best friend when your 30. Ever since I was 2 until I was in the 7th grade, I was best friends with same family. My family and their family were absolute best friends. They had 4 kids, 2 girls and a boy who were triplets and a little sister 2 years younger than they were. I was best friends with the triplets and my little sister was best friends with their youngest, our parents were best friends and we all lived in the same neighborhood. We did everything together. Our parents went out every Friday and then they took us with them every Saturday, we would all sleepover at each others house every weekend and weekdays. We went to each others soccer games, football and baseball games, volleyball games, and cheer competitions, we went on vacations together, spent Christmas and Thanksgiving together. We were family. Then when middle school came around they started to be mean, and I didn't even realize it until my new volleyball team had pointed it out to me. I did my best to deal with it and hide it for a while, until one of my team mates told my mom. My mom was devastated, she went through my phone, asked my volleyball team and asked me what I think. She told me this wasn't normal, that is was bullying. I refused to believe it because we were family, but it was clear my mom was right. My mom texted their mom about everything, and they got into a pretty big fight. They came over to apologize but ever since then we haven't been friends. Just like that, it was done. No dinner, no sleepovers, no vacation, no games, no competitions, no socializing, nothing, we were just done. I had friends I moved onto I was never lonely, but at the same time I was. I was alone because they were my second family, but in a blink of an eye, they were gone. With that, I bring back my point. Everything happens for a reason, I lost my best friends for a reason, I made new ones for a reason, and I moved on for a reason. I don't know what that reason is, and I don't need to, but I know that is was for the best. They were the power of one. They were the power of one that put my life on a different path. The power of one will change your life, whether you accept it or not. Be ready, face it, because everything that happens to you, happens for a reason, and will alter the rest of your life.

As of now, my biggest priority is honestly my grades. Last semester I managed to pass all my classes but not with the grades I had wanted, my last semester was very challenging for me to maintain. This semester I really want to focus on my school work because school will make or break my future. Right now I am very proud of my grades, I do good in all my classes but I struggle in math so I have a tutor that a friend and I go to every Tuesday for $20. School has become very important to me this year, and middle school did not prepare me for high school at all. High school was a big change and it took a while for me to get into the swing of things, I was lost at first. I think that is why I struggled so much in the first semester because trying to manage grades and adjust to high school was hard, I won't lie. So I am buckling down and focusing on school so I can have a good future!
Another one of my priorities right now is to get into shape. I work out with a personal trainer every Monday for $25, and I go to Lifetime with 2 or 3 of my friends twice a week using my membership that my parents bought for me. I usually try and work on my abs first then my legs and last my arms. I am also eating healthier and cutting down on candy and sugar. My goal is to get the body I want and I intend to work for it! My last priority right now is to have clear skin. I don't really have acne per-say but I am very self conscious about one little pimple on my face, and I stress about each one very much. I have dermatologist prescribed face wash to help with breakouts. I get a breakout about every 2 weeks. My breakouts might not seem bad to you, but for me they are terrible. So I just started my face wash to hopefully stop my breakouts and keep me calm and happy! Something I want to accomplish in my life is to cliff diving. When I die, I want to be remembered as someone who was loved, and someone who wasn't afraid to live. When I die, I want to know that I lived my life to my best ability. I want to know I had good times and bad, and that I made it through both. I had fun times and hard times, but I pushed through. I want to die knowing I lived my best life with no regrets, and cliff diving would be just the beginning of that. I want to leave the world with millions of memories, millions of laughs and cries, millions of smiles and frowns, millions of friends and adventures, I want to go out with a bang, so I will.
