Life's Achievements

Achievements in life come with such happiness, within a state of progress. It has been such a fun ride cruising through semester after semester achieving good grades, achieving key roles in the workforce and overcoming challenges and deadlines that become the aggressive push one needs to do the impossible. There is no greater feeling than to receive a high grade for the work you and your group members produced, it's an amazing somewhat euphoric experience to complete an assignment, hand it in and stand in front of your peers and present your hardened work that you believe in. Even though you know you can do better, you know that you could have added in another key element that would have exceeded your limits and the teachers expectations. With achievements there is always be room to grow, room to become better and room to improve upon mistakes made throughout the lengthy journey from receiving the assignment to submission. It is our duty as students who work hard to achieve only the best in school and in life; to continue bettering ourselves in such a way that we become untouchable.

My greatest achievements throughout the last 9 years of my life come at a heavy cost, they come with a past or a burden if you will that will last a life time. But will not define the entirety of my life. Losing years of your life can become hard, something that none should have to suffer,  but several do! I made it through the darkest hour, which helped mould me into a young man who is fulfilling his passion in life. The thing about achievements is they never fill the gaps in your life, they simply help with your purpose in life which is what we all seek at some point or another. A purpose, this purpose my differ from person to person but above all it's the purpose of life... A purpose to live the life we as young individuals dreamed about but never thought we would see; that to me is the beauty of achievements. When we achieve, we progress and when we progress, we change and when we change... We change for the better! We mustn't fear what achievements can bring us; we must simply embrace them and grow from them so that we can become the people we were meant to be in this world, hard working creative minds. 

But if there is something in life I learned about achieving goals or anything for that matter, is that you cannot take them for granted because you never know if that was your last. You must accept, you must celebrate but you must asses and learn. You must keep a steady mind and prepare for the next and only then will you realize that life is filled with wonderful achievements, so keep up the hard work. 

"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort."

- Franklin D. Roosevelt
