I’m looking forward to the new year because I know I will be doing things differently. I will be focusing on myself, my health, and my family.
I also want to form a plan that can prevent people from being homeless, such as helping with shared housing. I also want to create jobs—REAL jobs, maybe in the janitorial fi eld—for people who just need a fair shot at life no matter what mistakes they might have made in the past. You go through life making mistakes so you can learn from them. As long as you are learning, you are living.
I’m just starting to see that in life you cannot put too much trust in and focus on most people because they will let you down. So, you gotta focus on trusting people who will build you up because they’re the ones who don’t want to see you hurt. Likewise, you have to build them up as well.
I will work twice as hard to uplift my friends, my family, and my peers—but only the ones who want to come together and build. The only reason to build is to grow, and this new year I’m looking to grow! So, peace and love.
