Today two years ago an hour or two ago I lost my father. Every day since has been an internal struggle with myself to continue living the life he wanted for me. Last year I felt like I had failed him because I didnt pass Algebra. I spent that summer thinking very hard about my future and my life choices and decided that I wouldnt let his death take over my life. I decided that I could make it in life and give back to my mom and my family for always being there. And now Im the top student in my History class (the subject my father taught as a seventh grade teacher) with an A+, I have an A- in Spanish and an A+ in PE, a B in English, an A- in Video Editing, a B- in Algebra, and a B+ in Chemistry. Ive managed to completely turn my life around and get good grades without stressing myself out. All of this was possible because I myself made my own happiness. Dont get me wrong, I will always miss my father, and I would trade all of this to see him again, but obviously thats not going to happen. All I can do is continue to do as he had taught me and try to pass those lessons on to my future kids. Hopefully I made him proud.
