Chapter 2

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with family”-Anthony Brandt

This quote for me means that no matter how much you live and change throughout your life your family will always be there for you. I have realized this first hand in my life, whenever there is a hardship in my life I realized that my family will always be there for me no matter what I did. When I was naive I thought that my friends would be the ones who would be there for me but I realized that friends come and go. However, family is forever and I would do anything for my family. The love that your family has for you will never wether no matter what happens.

“It ain’t over till its over” just seems more effective than”There’s always hope.”- Yogi Berra

In our lives, we must realized that faith and hope is the only thing that can keep us going. If we admit defeat in our lives, then whats the point of even living anymore. We must always remain positive no matter how difficult the situation seems or how unlikely it seems. For example, when my aunt got cancer no body in our family thought she was gonna survive from it since it was stage four and it detected late. My aunt however believed she would survive and she underwent chemotherapy with a positive attitude and nothing could phase her. She underwent chemotherapy for six months and miraculously she survived through her determination and faith in God. I believe if she just accepted defeat she wouldn’t be alive to this day. We always have to remain positive and have faith because thats the only thing can faith us in the end.

“Each day it’s something new, fantastic and unbelievable. That is Bach, like nature, a miracle.”-Pablo Casals

In our society nowadays it is easy to forget how truly blessed we are compared to the rest of the world. We complain about the smallest of things and people around the world are actually suffering extreme hardships. We must realize that everyday is truly a blessing to live in this country and not forget that we must be grateful for what we have. Just looking around at the beauty of nature, we can get a new sense of adoration for what God has created for us. There are people in this world who are born with birth defects or have had life threatening injuries and we must be grateful that we are healthy because sadly a lot of people in this world suffer a lot. Everyday we wake up we must be grateful for what we have and try to be better people so that we can able give back to other who are less fortunate than us.
