Adversity and Challenges

I agree and disagree with Winston Churchill when he said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going”. I disagree with it because life has been hell for me, and I’ve kept on going and yet it is still hell for me. It may be a different hell, but still hell. So when people say that this quote has some special symbolic meaning I tend to disagree because to me it’s common sense, it’s natural, it’s survival… because I could simply give up shrivel up and die but that just isn’t an option for me. However, I agree with Winston Churchill in the fact that once you’ve reached the point of giving up the only thing you can do is move on.

I bet you’re asking yourself “if he is going through hell how has he made it this far in life?” It’s because I have family and friends who lift me up when I need them the most and even when I don’t treat them the best I still get treated like a king. I love my family and friends. My family is not close to the best, but what family is perfect? My friends at least here at Summit consist of Rory, Kesha, Rachel, Alex, and plenty of others including teachers. These are the people I trust and people that I truly care for because they help me, support me, and treat me with the love of a friend. I appreciate all they do for me and someday I will have to repay the favor.
