A journey called Life

It's amazing how fast time flies. It feels like yesterday I was playing in my sandbox in eddington at the age of 4. Now I'm sitting here in my period eight class, junior year at 17 years old. I'm currently in a relationship that has been going since February 15th of last year. I have come a long ways. 

 When I was between the ages of four and six , my father had me racing four wheelers. To be honest I had a lot of fun doing it , and I wish I stayed with it. I have trophies from then, that I now look back on and just remember all the fun I had. I wasn't the best at it, I often flipped my wheeler on my sandbox, at the track and was a constant third place finish. It was probably 3rd out of 3 but oh well. Like I said I have trophies and the highest I ever placed was 2nd. I flippedy wheeler one time really bad, and I never went back to racing. I really wish I stayed with it now. 

    One moment in my life that stand out to me, is eighth grade summer. My friends and I were riding bikes with one kid, and he was crossing the road and was struck and killed by a pickup. This moment in my life sticks out because we were picking on him. I will not get into details. I am very sensitive when it comes to this subject, and I don't want to be judged for the person I was in the past. I have come a long ways since that day . I don't pick on people with disabilities like I did back then. All I will say is that I wish it didn't take such a tragedy to change the person I was. 

  I don't like to think abouty past all to much, looking back on it, knowing how bad of a person I believe I was. I have come a long ways. I have kicked so seriously bad habits, changed the way I treated people, and just overall changed. I can honestly thank my beautiful girlfriend for this. She pointed out my flaws or bad habits that I really needed to change if I wanted to improve my life and become a better person. She has helped me with becoming more dedicated to my studies . My grades have drastically improved since I've been dating her. It's like she challenges me. She inspires me every day and I can never thank her enough. 

 It's really crazy how far I have come in my life. The experiences, the changes I've made , the things that are to come. I'm just starting my journey and so far I'm on the right path. This is my journey called life .
