Trying to stay positive is hard. When everything feelslike its falling in around you, it is hard to know what to do other than giveup, but don’t. A quote that I really like is “when life gives you lemons makelemonade.” Being adopted is hard and really confusing but I made it through itand I can make it through anything. I believe that you can make it throughanything because there are always people to help you through life, you arestronger than you think you are, and no matter what is going on just staypositive and it will all work out in the end.

Growing up there were always things going on that werehard to go through, like parents getting a divorce, or having a loved one passaway. The places that were always able to help me through it were my parentsand also the guidance counselor at a school. Just having someone there for youthat you can just talk to always helps. It’s better to let everything outinstead of keeping it inside until it erupts inside and you just mentally breakdown. Like the sang “there are angles out there to pick you back up on yourfeet when you fall down.” Just keep thatin mind when you are down or if you see somebody down be the angle for them andjust talk to them and try to help them out it will be worth it in the long run.

No matter what happens just keep going, life stinkssometimes but that doesn’t mean just give up and not try anymore. You are muchstronger than that. God wont put you in something that you cant get through. Inlife there is a lot of sadness and death, but there is just as much happinessand birth. You just have to stay positive and if you put your mind on somethingthen finish it because you can.
