Sadly this will most certainly be my last blog... That is due for Writer's Workshop. I can honestly say that I am pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed blogging! It opened my eyes to a whole new hobby, that I hope I will be able to continue on. I will still be providing life lessons and hopefully I am inspiring people to never keep your head down because everyone knows, "Ya gotta keep your head up oh-oh, never let your head down ay-ay!" I forgot the artist who sings that but it's a really catchy song that is now stuck in my head. 
WARNING: If you read this blog a song will be stuck in your head by the end of the first paragraph.
You can't say I didn't try and warn you! Well until next time or should I say, until my next blog. I hope you all keep going through life not letting any obstacle prevent you from obtaining your goals, keep your head up, and find all the little things you're thankful for in life. 
Stay beautiful

Thanksgiving
It's around that time of the year when people actually take the time to ponder on all of the things they are thankful for. Everyone knows the basics: family, friends, and of course, the Thanksgiving feast. It's sad to think, really, that those are the only things people can think of to be thankful for. There are so many great privileges people have nowadays and they don't even realize it. Even I myself, the person who just so happens to be blogging about this, used to be one of those people.
Some people don't get to sit down with their family on Thanksgiving because they lost theirs or maybe they can't afford a meal. Maybe some people don't even have a house or appartment or any type of roof above their heads. Some people are gonna have to spend Thanksgiving in a frigid unloving hospital, bed due to a chronic disease and some of those people might not even be able to light of a new Thanksgiving day.
Be thankful for everything you have in your life. If you don't appreciate all the little things then you probably don't deserve them. So after ready this blog I want you to take a little time out of your day to sit and think about everything and everyone you are thankful for. I know I'm thankful. I'm thankful to live and breathe and be healthy. I hope this blog makes you think of all the little and yet amazing things you have in your life.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Keep Your Head Up
There is a time in life when everything seems to go wrong
You turn away from your friends and play your favorite song.
And all you wish is to be far away from here, you wish to be gone
Just know life will keep going and you need to move on.
There are so many positive things in life, that's what you need to realize
Stop caring about what other people say about you and live through your eyes.
No matter what happens in life, there will be a brighter day
Any pain, anger, or sadness you feel I promise will go away.
Just accept all that has happened and forgive and forget
Do not make any poor decisions that you will regret.
Just make the best out of life, make it wondrous and care-free
And do not let anyone tell you a different way you should be--
Because God makes you the way you are for a reason
And these are the words you truly have to believe in.
Just go through life with a good attitude and a smile on your face
This is the kind of person that no body wishes to replace.
No matter what you wish to do, never stop giving up
When you come face to face with hardships, just keep your head up.
You turn away from your friends and play your favorite song.
And all you wish is to be far away from here, you wish to be gone
Just know life will keep going and you need to move on.

No matter what you wish to do, never stop giving up
When you come face to face with hardships, just keep your head up.

The Intro
In Writer's Workshop we were assigned to created a blog. There are so many possibilities on ideas I could blog about. It is recommended to have a common theme between each post. I could write about football, life, struggles, philosophies, idealism, the government, conspiracies, my thoughts, school, motivational blogs, etc. 
We are supposed to bring two things that we love (one being writing due to the fact we are in a writing class) together. Well just by blogging I feel that that counts as the writing part, so its the other topic that I am struggling to decide on. With all the problems that are going on in the world I feel that blogging about difficulties and overcoming them. Maybe my blogs might even help others in surpassing their similar problems. I have always wanted to help others in getting passed the zig zags in life and now hopefully I can.
I am always meeting new tribulations in life and I am always thinking of new solutions to solve and get past them. I am looking forward to any and all of my readers and hoping all of you can find use out of my blogs.

Obstacles Overcome
There are so many difficulties in life that can prevent you from achieving your dreams. When some people come face to face with hardships, they crumble under pressure. For others, they strive past the obstacle in their way and continue on with their goals.
Me personally, I choose to keep my goals in sight and take on any challenge keeping me from obtaining them. Just last Friday night, my football season came to an abrupt hault when we had gone into the md pit, otherwise known as CBAC. We had prepared vigarously throughout the week and were even predicted to win. We were on a five game win streak and looking to make it six.
The whole game, nothing had went our way. We couldn't do anything on offense and our defense was being run on non-stop. We had no answer for what they were laying out in front of us. I looked at the sideline and I saw everyone's helmet down. My team had given up by the end of the first half. I never gave up hope until the very last second of the game. I kept my head held high and ran as hard as I could, and at the end of the game I knew that I left nothing on that field.
I walked off the field with my head up looking at the scoreboard, 46-16, and said to myself, "We're going to kick their ass next year."
