I went to church today and saw a boy that was nominated for student of the year. So was I when I was in elementary school. He has it planned out so much better than I did and it's making me feel like I haven't been doing all that I can to have an extraordinary life and be a better person. He's giving back to the community and volunteering. I did that a little but I feel like I could be helping out more than I am. His grades are like 10x better than mine were and I was and am a straight A student. All of the little kids I have see are doing so much better than I did. I shouldn't be jealous of 10 year olds but it makes me regret not doing more while I could. My cousins are extraordinary. Take my cousin K, he is on like 10 sports teams, has a 4.0 average, gives back to his community and has a ton of friends. my other cousin is a great basketball player and has her own business. It make me feel like I will end being average with a 9-5. I want more for my life than that. I want to be known and to help others while being comfortable and able to treat myself. Give me some ideas on how to be a better person because honestly I only have like 4 years to figure this out. You may be saying,"You have your whole life ahead of you. You're only a teen."Time passes by faster than you think. If you read this, thanks for listening to my rant.
Adios hermanos,

In today’s work force, to be an extraordinary person all you have to do is take pride in your work and pay attention to the extra details the others won’t. Talent alone will only take you so far. Hard work, dedication, and pride will carry you the rest of your life.
