| Come Away With Innocence. |
So. Today. Some chick that survived the HOLOCAUST! came to MY SCHOOL and talked. I was like whoa. It was effing great. But like, I had to piss really bad, but didn't feel like getting up before it started, like an idiot, then we had to sit in the gym for like 3 hours. Needless to say by the end of the assembly it felt like my kidneys had collapsed. And I had been sitting up against the brick wall for like, ever.
But that's so not the point of why I'm writing this. Jesus. I learned alot today. I've gone my entire life taking things for granted and never really thinking before I acted. Today my kidneys and I were forced to sit on a bleacher and bawl our eyes out while a girl told us the story of her experience in the Holocaust. And we (we being my kidney's and myself) were blown away. I mean, I've known about the Holocaust most of my life, but today I actually heard a story first hand. Straight from the mouth of a survivor.
I figure, if some girl the same age as I am now can go through all of that and live to tell the tale, then why can't I accomplish whatever I wanted right here? I've grown up with my parents telling me to keep my dreams within reality's reach, which is rediculous. This girl made it out on a miracle. She suffered more than I could ever endure, and came out stronger. Wiser. And that on it's own is enough to inspire anyone.
So, obviously, I was deeply moved by this. Most kids don't want to take it seriously because they think it'll never happen to them, and it probably won't. But who's to say that something equally horrific can't happen? I know that I'm not going to waste the few years I have been given to live like I have been. I may not have much. But I have enough. And that's all I need.
