The Labor day weekend.
As a teenager in Ohio County I found that life changed when I moved to Hancock County. I didn't play soft ball like most the girls and I didn't know anyone. I cried for 2 months and gained 30 lbs that summer. But the day school started my life transformed.
Being new I had to talk to people I had never met. I loved the people I met and the school . My goal while in high school was to know everyone and accept them, for who they where. I loved you if you where rich or poor, I didn't care. Everyone who knew me accepted me , just the way i was. I wasn't an honor student I hated history, and didn't enjoy being the president of FHA.
It's amazing what some teens preceive others to be. We think they have the perfect life and have everything they want.
If we would just sit back and look at the big picture. We find out that our best freinds had death knocking on there doors. We find out the family had major problems. We don't live in a perfect world. But we have to try to make it better.
To do that look around see who you can make a diffrence. Maybe donate a dollar to St judes, be a mentor to a young boy who gets in touble.
But stop and smell those flowers and give that hug.
Thinking of you all today. Pam
