Wake Up

"Everyone's gonna die. It's a natural part of life. But if life has no purpose, you're dead already." I sometimes like to tell myself this one quote I heard from an anime said by the protagonist named "Kiba" the anime called "Wolf's Rain". As a young boy I was filled with so much happiness and joy. The only negative thing in my life was my father. For he had a problem with alcohol, he would not always drink but when he did he would show lots of anger towards my mother. I never fully understand the problems between them. But as the years passed and I grew older. I began to feel a darker side of me arising. My father now a days still have problems from time to time but very rarely. He has told me he has done some things he is not proud of. I know he has had a very rough past as a child back from his country. We also have had some difficulties as I have grew. My father would start putting me down telling me things like I won't be anybody in the future I am unprepared. At first I ignored him thinking he was inane but as the years passed I realized he was right. I always thought he would tell me some nonsense because of how his actions are he was pretty mean to me for some thing I have done in my past. I was failing most of my classes, not knowing I was headed for failure til I finally opened my eyes and heard what he was saying. Pay attention and keep focus to what The good things in life are. Education is one of them, health and fitness was another, Love, and happiness. I was like a mindless zombie for so long I had no idea what I was doing til I had awaken from the self trance I was in. I started doing good in school, getting stronger at the gym til I had an injury. But now I am working myself back up and doing my very best to get the education I rightfully deserve and all I had to do was wake up and focus. It was all thanks to my father, a man I once took for granted. Thank you.
