A word of wisdom that I would give to anyone younger than me would be to stay true to yourself. I know thats very cliche, but it's true. When you are young you don't usually know what you like and what's right and wrong. All you know is what your parents tell you. Well what mommy and daddy tell you is way different from the real world sometimes. So you have to know what is right and wrong, you have to know what you believe in and what you stand for. Don't do what everyone else is doing because you don't really know what you want to do. Find out what YOU want to do and stay true to it, cause in the end YOU are going to have to live with YOUR actions.

The advice i could give to a younger person, i would just have to say you know whats right and wrong. Your parents showed you and people around you showed what could happen to you or people you care about. so do what you need to do and what you think is right! and stand up for what you believe in and dont let no one tell you other wise! *GOD IS LOVE REV NAE* HAHAHAHAH ^_^

What made me grow more is last year when my cousin died. That tought me a lesson about taking life for granted. You never know who around you is or isn't going to be here tomorrow. You should live life to the fullest and not take it for granted.

The advice i could give to a younger person is just enjoy your childhood. As I got older I had to take on a lot of responsibility and most of it I wasn't ready for. I was always in a rush to grow up and never had the oppurtunity to relax and be a child. It's now that I realize something as simple as childhood means a lot more when you never had it.
A word of wisdom for a younger kid don't let other people control your life make your own decisions.But always try to do the right thing.
The advice i would give to someone who is younger than me or who is looking up to me is don't take life too seriously but also don't take it as a joke. If you take life too seriously, and don't live like a kid you will regret what you never did. But if you take life as a joke when your younger then you won't get through life very easily when your older. The worse thing you can do is be serious about your life and not have funn!. There's a time to be serious and a time to play around.
There were alot of times in my life where i got in sooo much trouble. Either because of friends or just plain stupidity. So a word o fwisdom for the younger souls would be...try to stay out of trouble..dont do stupid things..have fun..but not too much fun :):)
The lesson I would give to someone who is younger than me is.... to live life as well as you can just dont follow others who reflects bad examples on you because you dont want to end up somewhere where you dont need to be. Just follow your dreams dont let anything stop you, keep your head up and always listen to your parents because everything they tell you is for a reason! and remember watch what you do! ( in 20 years you'll regret the things you didnt do then you would the things you did do.) be an example and do things right.

The time in my life when i experienced the most growth was when my nana died. I felt like this was the most experience of when i grew up was because i felt like i had to be a stronger and bigger person for all the other grand kids. I knew i had to be the bigger person and not break down and not be a strong person for them i felt like my nana wanted me to be like that for them and would of wanted me to be strong for the grand kids.
I think a time in my life where i have experienced the most growth was when i spent a lot of time with the detroit baseball team. It taught me a lot about how they act and the right way to do things. They dont act the way that you think. Trust me!!!
The advice i would give to someone that is younger then me is to always have your head up high. dont let anyone stop you from being you! && to stay out of drama as much as you can because all it does is try and bring you down! Always stay strong and independent! && jus live your life the way you want to not by what others want to see it! :)

My word of wisdom is more than just a word. It's more of like a book..
Through my years of growing up i've done a lot of wrong, and learned from all my mistakes thats forsure! I would just advise all youngins to listen to their parents, and obey what they say, becuase they really do know what their talking about. And they truely have your best intest in mind. God didn't put them on this earth to just tell you what to do, their here for a reason! Listen to them, and appreciate them! :)
there was one day when i was in 6th grade i was very mean to my best friend and the next day she died in a car accedent and i did not get a chance to say sorry so i was so sad for 3 week

The period in my life where I had the most growth was this summer. I learned alot about myself and just knew how to deal with difficult stuff in my life. I know now that you have to work for what you want in life and you don't always learn in a happy way but when you do grow the most it's usually through pain and that's what I learned.
A time in my life when i experienced the most growth is when my Aunt died from a brain tumor. That time it really changed everyone and no one in my family was really the same afterwards. She was a really nice woman and had lots of goals in life. It was really hard on me seeing her go like that, but it was her time and she was only in her 40's. Life is a little more harder now but i am getting through it good with family around. She was a true christian so she did go to heaven. I am glad she didnt go else where. But all of my family really misses her alot. That is one time where ive experienced the most growth in my life.
The time I experienced the most growth in my life would have to be when I started 6th grade at Mckeel I used to be so shy and scared and just quiet and middle school helped me come out of my shell. Since then im the kind of person that can be friends with anyone.
The time I experience the most growth in my life would have to be this past summer.I was a counsler at Camp wildcat.By being a Camp counsler for younger children, it has made me more responsible and to be patient with young kids.It was a huge responsibility and rewarding at the same time.I became attached to some of the kids at Camp.It was hard for me to leave the kids at the end of the summer.
The advice I could give to a younger person is don't take life so seriously, nobody makes it out alive anyways.
-A word of wisdom for younger kids.
My advice is that always love your brothers and sisters because even though they can become annoying you still love them. They look up to you and follow your example so be nice to them even when sometimes there not. Also when you are young it is a time when you discover yourself and find new things you did not know about you. So have fun, stay safe, and look to the future!!!!!

A time that I experienced the most growth is when my dad died of cancer. It showed me that out of the blue something could go wrong with you and that you never know if you're going to wake up the next day.Also it showed me that i shouldnt take my life for granted like i use to before he passed away.

A time in my life when i grew most was probably between seventh and eighth grade. i did some very bad things that have become life lessons for me and i look back on some things i did and i regret them but i also learned from them. i gave up all my friends and families trust and now I'm in tenth grade and honestly I'm still trying to earn that trust back.

There is not much wisdom i can give.
But one thing I know a lot about is drums. So here is some wisdom on that. 1. do treat it like a game. The more realaxed you are and the more fun it is the better you will play.
2. watch your form. good form makes all the diffrents in playing.
3. love it. drums are a blast and the heart beat of music. it takes a lot of comiment to learn.
4. as every one says don't give up.
it always gets better.

Between the ages of 8 and 12 I was living in a dark hole. I felt like there was no way out. I was all alone and thousands of miles away from my real family and I had no that could understand how lost I was and how LONGED for help. Since that period of time I have grown to be a smart young lady that now has no fear of anything but GOD. MY advice for younger people: NO matter what stage you are in your life where there seems to be no way out, but only a way deeper in, DONT give up. There will always be SOMEONE there to hand out their hand to help. It may take years but believe me, it will happen. HAVE FAITH IN GOD!!!:)

When I was younger, there were many times when I was told straight to my face "You have potential, but you'll never make it anywhere." We were judged because the area we lived in was overrun with violence, drug dealers, gang fights and many treacherous things a kindergartener should never have to experience. My advice for every kid who has been looked down upon is that you have the power to make it somewhere. You control your lives and every negative thing thrown at you will make you stronger. Don't be another statistic, make a diference and follow your own path. Trust God and he will make a way!!!!

For my younger people a words of wisdom would be YOU know the difference between right and wrong decisions not other people for you. Some choices that you make won't be perfect all the time, but something will always tell you you doing something bad or even good.
wwen i was 11 years old my sister and my mom went out so i had to stay home and take care of my sister i started crying cause i didnt want them to leave so they didnt wen i saw my mom have a hard time trying to put us all in the car i jess said i will take care of her mommy cause she was crying and didnt stop till i said that.alissa-marie williams
A past expeirence that gave me the most growth was when my mom was diagnosed with cancer and wasn't suppose to be around for much longer. i watched her for a year and a half while she was going through chemotherapy never getting up off the couch, i didnt get to talk to her very much cause of how ill the chemo made her. 3 years later she's cancer free and still living. This made me relize to spend as much time as you can with the ones you love and make sure the time is great.

-A word of wisdom for my younger peers.
STAY out of drama! It's a waste of time and your life. There was 3 of us that were involved in alot of drama and it took up a huge amount of our class time and we fell behind alot! I absolutly hated it!! We were all best friends and once all the drama started we all split up. Two of us are still really good friends but one of us aren't that close. It totally sucks, because you always saw us together, we were always hanging out. But thats my "Words of Wisdom"..Stay OUT of DRAMAAA!!!

A word of wisdom to my younger peers..
Take school seriously, and try to stay out of drama. Playing around in school can screw up your grades big time and lower your chance of getting a scholarship to any college. Even if you play sports, and you think that they only look at how you play.. your wrong! They look at your grades and GPA as well. And as for the drama, stay far away from it! It can mess up your life big time! If someone comes up to you talking about drama, ignore them and don't listen to whatever they say!

All i really have to say is STAY OUT OF DRAMA!!
it is a waste of precious time, & a waste of breath. I have definately had my fair share of drama, maybe even a little more. I used to surround myself with people that would cause the drama & drag me into it & i have tried to rid myself of those kinds of people. I used to be a very different person. Because of all of this drama i have grown up a lot. I am trying to be only myself, & i have learned that other people's opinions about me dont matter, as long as i am happy with myself, everything will turn out the way it should be in the end. My life so far is amazing! NO DRAMA, INCREDIBLE FRIENDS --> LAUREN JONES & ASHLEY HUTCHINSON! (: , & JUST BEING MYSELF. I know that I have a lot more growing up to do, so I am definately looking forward to every second of it.

As a kid I have learned to not let go of life to take it and hold it like a precious diamond. Enjoy life as it is and the small things; because before you know it you’ll be graduating high school and off to collage, well that’s how I think of it as in my own life. The first stage of life is one of the most amazing ever you get to play, have fun, and just simply enjoy being a kid, but as you grow older you will gain more responsibility so be prepared when the time comes it might seem like it comes and hits you, but really that’s what happens when your done being a child, and grow to the stage of teenage hood, and adult hood. Basically all I’m saying is just have fun and do well in school, and that is a very important thing to do is do well in school. When you become an adult you’ll wish you were a kid and you could start the whole cycle of life again well that’s what I have been told by my own parents and other adults.

Was when I had to take care of my mother before she died. Even know that I was the child. She couldn't see, it made me take responsibilty because even know I was the child she counted on me and wanted me to take care of her. So that's when I had to grow up fast.

" Many of us knock on the door but remain outside, because knocking and entering are entirely different actions. Knocking is necessary, consisting of reading books, attending meetings, asking questions. But entrance requires much bolder action. It requires one to enter into himself, to uncover hidden motives, to see contradictions, and to realize his actual power for self-change."
And also remember that who who ever angers you controls you.

A word of wisdom I can share with those younger than me is don't be lazy or give up in school. Thats what I did last year, and as a result, i failed the last semester of algebra. I knew everything that was taught and got good grades on the tests, but I never applied myself when it came down to homework and other assignments. Because of this, I'm now having to take algebra and geometry at the same time, but thanks to a change of mind that started early this school year, I've done a complete 180 and have A's in both classes.

a word of advice that i would give someone younger is me is that you should always live life to the fullest,really. Ever since i was little i couldnt wait till i was old enough to be on my own because i was always wanted to do things my way and i never want to listen to what my parents had to say. but now i realize that life is hard and i have a lot of responsibilty i dont like so i have to listen to my parents and just enjoy life right now and now worry about the small things in life, just live it to the fullest.

This is my word of wisedom to the younger. Don't make fun of anyone! Now, I know most little kids are thinking "We already know this! We don't make fun of anyone!" But if this was true, I would be treated a whole lot better than I am treated now! If people actually did follow the Golden Rule, then I wouldn't have the depression problems I would be having now. People wouldn't think of me as a future serial killer. They would see that, really, I am a 6 ft tall, 200 pound guy who is so childlike, many of his friends are between the ages of 3-12. I am Lennie in Of Mice and Men.

The first time I realized I was experiencing growth was when I reached puberty at age 10. Now I know we've all went through it but that experience opened my eyes to the real world and changed my whole life. I realized that my body was growing faster than my mind and I felt that I had to rush to grow up because adulthood seemed to be coming so quickly. So since then I have started taking school more seriously, acting mature, and being more responsible.
I felt like that wasn’t me and I was just being fake and lying to myself about who I actually was. So that caused so much confliction in my head that I couldn’t take all at one time. That led to emotional distress and depression in my 8th grade year. I got through it but it was really difficult because I felt like I was alone in this. After putting God in my life, I felt I had found the right path in life.
What I don’t understand is that I had to fall in life to actually get the courage to go to God but I’m glad I did. Now in my life, I’m still in the process of growing; not only older and maturely but also my relationship with God because I know God will get me through this!!
P.S. I really like this blog idea because it gives me a chance to express myself and I know someone is listening. =)

The time in my life when I experienced the most growth is when my brother, Gary, moved away. My parents had been divorced for many years, and my brother and I had always lived with my mom in Florida. Gary and I were like any average brother and sister. We annoyed each other and didn't get along most of the time, but we loved each other.
When I was in 6th grade, my brother decided that he wanted to live with my dad, in Kentucky. It was an extremely hard time for me because Gary is my only sibling, and we did everything together. When he left, I felt like an only child.
This really taught me to treasure the blessings God has given me. I didn't really appreciate my brother when lived with me. He was just this annoying guy who was always around. But now he's not around and I really miss him.
My word of advice to people younger than me is, live life to the fullest and enjoy it.

The time where I experienced the most growth was when I finally realized my mistakes that I mad this past year in North Carolina at a camp called "Bonclarken".Our family time that we had with the church youth group really helped me out because I really opened myself up to others and I felt like I was more mature and I felt like my heart had dropped a ton of weight.

A time i my life when i experienced the most growth was when I went to Southwest middle school for 7th grade.
A word of wisdom i would use is don't lose yourself while trying to find yourself. If that makes any since at all?. Think before you do stuff, too. People make some bad decisions and can't take it back, so don't make regretful choices.

Well wisdom is very hard to find these days and i find wisdom all the time and everyday. The Time i experienced the most was when i was when people come up to me for advice for soccer at Lakeland soccer and i tell how and where and when to do it. This is ALEX MOA.
I have definitly seen growth in my faith in Christ the past year.
-Last year the weekend right after thanksgiving on Sunday, my mom had came up to wake me up. As I am thinking she is just getting me up because I slept late and we need to get to church I see she is crying. I quickly ask what is going on, if my sister never came home from the party, if something happened to my father, no answer. She then tells me that Tim Schell had died in his sleep (he was my fathers best friend and definitly a second dad to me.)
That was a huge brick in road of my life. I had a hard time getting my time in with God because I didn't understand why he would take daddy Schell away from me. He was the biggest christian I ever knew, and one of the best guys I knew besides my daddy. I looked up to him so much, that I didn't want anything to do with God anymore.
Well, during that time I made a lot of bad choices, up until this summer. This summer got really smacked me in that face and opened my eyes. I realized that I was being a complete idiot and things happen. It was his time and I need to stick with God through EVERYTHING. He tried so hard to get me back towards him, took my best friends from me, fought with my parents everyday, made the worst choices, etc.
So, the point I am trying to get to is that I have grown most in my relationship with my Jesus than anything else. I am still growing and will everyday!
