"My soul has been fed tonight"

All my life I sat and wondered on what I would be doing at this stage in my life. Not once did I even contemplate that I would have accomplish all that I already accomplished. Looking back at my life I realize that there was a very major crossroad that lead to my current success and my future successes. That crossroad appeared right after junior high. When I was a kid I strived to become a popular and memorable person that nobody would forget. Well, I accomplished throwing away my academic career. I was what people would call "the class clown". It was fun, for a while. I acted like a fool, I had plenty of friends and I drove my teachers insane. I never minded hanging out in detention, it was always quite and I was with my friends. However being the "class clown" eventually got old. As the years progressed more of my own peers were getting annoyed by my goofy antics. While my friends were progressing in class and  having fun I was stuck in detention again. I was slowly pushing away my friends, and I was consistently disappointing my family. This didn't phase me though, I was a hardened goof ball. So I continued to coast through life. Until, It came to graduation. Since my elementary and junior high school were the same, this was my first graduation. I sat through the ceremony watching all my peers succeed while I was once again lagging behind. I did not receive my diploma that day, and still to this day I don't have a junior high diploma. That was the wake up call for me. I suddenly realized that if I continued on the road I was going that I was going to become a bum. I couldn't do that to myself or my family. So I changed my attitude toward school and drastically enhanced my grades. Fast-foward a couple years and here I am in california. I have managed to change my life for the better. I was lucky that I had an epiphany so early. However It shouldn't matter, I believe regardless of age everybody is presented with a crossroad. And if you decide to rough it out and take the high road, I guarantee you not only would you feel better but your soul seems to be satisfied. So now I'm approaching another crossroad. This crossroad is about balance. Balance was something I always lacked prior in my life. Now it comes time for me to master balance. Not only between my school and home, but between diet, exercise, and relaxation as well. This "Mr. Rager" has his work cut out for him, but I have obtained a will to continue through my journey and that would propel me to success
