First of all, I wish to say that I am incredibly thankful for all the things God has given me. My family, my life, my friends...you all. I might not live in the nicest house, but as long as I am happy, I do not care. Happiness is more important than material items.
Ever since Pre-K and Kindergarten, I have shown an excellence in academics. Two years I had the highest reading average, and one year, I believe...I'm not sure since it was a long time ago, around 2-3rd grade, maybe 4th, but I think I got the highest average in English/Grammar. I made it into the Junior Beta club as soon as the first semester of 6th grade was over, and in 8th grade, I was admitted into Student Council as Secretary. This year, I am also in Student Council, though only as a represenative, as a 9th grade student cannot be an officer. I have never had a yearly average below a 90, though I have had 80's a few times during the year on report cards, and one time a 70, when I was really slacking off. Anyway, now that I am in my first year of high school, things are harder than ever before. Even so, I know I can make it through if I try, due to the gifts God has given me. If possible, and the head of the tech school said it might be, there is a chance that I am going to start going to the Flint River Technical College with my mom in December. She's required to take classes there to get a promotion, while I might be able to just take classes there, and earn college credits. Thank you all for hearing me out.

I've recently made some entries like this in my journal.
I'm so glad to see that you're starting to already look for the things to be thankful for, even at the early age of fifteen. This is something that most people learn to do far later than they should.
Keep it up, and remember these wonderful gifts that God has given you when times get rough. They'll the thought helps you more than you might think it would...

Thanks for sharing, Destroyer. ^___^ It is good to be thankful.
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.
