Lori

Everyone says that everything happens for a reason. I still can't see the reason why Lori died. She was always so full of life, and was always happy. Even two and half years ago when she was told that she had cancer she was still positive. She never let that get her down. Lori fought her hardest until the very end. She never gave up. Lori was the srongest person I knew.

It is important in life to never give up in life. If you did, what would you ever get done. Your life would be a complete failure if you gave up on everything. Lori knew that in her last few months things weren't looking good for her, but she didn't just sit back and give up. She kept fighting. That is one of the things I will remember most about Lori. She never gave up, she was always positive even in the worst times, and she was always so nice. Lori is one of the best people to look up to, or to have as your role model.



Life Lesson: Lori would always sign letters to me with "stay strong", so Stay Strong

Kryptonite

Superman, the most well known super hero ever. He was extraordinarily hard to beat if you were a villain, the only thing that could help you was his weakness to kryptonite. He has a weakness, just like everyone else. He knew that he had a weakness, but I don't think he accepted it. Another example of someone well known with a weakness is Achilles. He had a weak ankle that was eventually the cause of his death. If you're thinking that only made up people have weaknesses then you are wrong because there are many real people who have problems with some things. Like Barack Obama. He has many excellent strengths as we all know, but there are some things that people see as weaknesses in him. Experience, race, and even his name are seen as some of his weaknesses. He doesn't see them as weaknesses though.



Like everyone I have weaknesses. I am a very shy person if I am around people who I don't know. Because of this I have missed out on many things. I now regret that I haven't been able to overcome my shyness, because if I had I would have been able to get better things out of events like the Youth In Action Summit. I acknowledge my weakness and I have been working on it to be a more outgoing person around strangers. If I do become more outgoing then I will get more out of life and have more friends to surround myself with. I acknowledge my weakness and am not ashamed of it and you shouldn't be ashamed of yours. Figure out what your weaknesses are and find a way to overcome them.



Life Lesson: Everybody has a weaknesses, and you shouldn't be ashamed about yours. Just find a way to overcome it.
