not a poem just a speech i had to write
Our Actions
Some people don’t realize what there action’s can do to other people besides you’r surroundings. Everything you do or say can effect other people without you even realizing you did anything wrong. Untill after the fact that you’ve already done it some people don’t know when to stop and ask themselves if what you’r doing has consequences or not. Ask yourself have I ever done anything that has consequences. But you didn’t realize it till after you had already done whatever it is you were doing. Zig Ziglar once said “Our actions and deeds affect other people, many of whom you will never know” I have had an experience with my actions affecting someone I didn’t even know. Many years ago when my mom got out of prison I had to make a choice if I wanted to stay with my aunt and uncle or go live with my mom and her drug habit. It took me almost 7 hours to make my decision because I loved my mom very much and I missed her a lot. But on the other hand I lived with amazing people and I had a future. Ahead of me with finishing school and having a good family. It was a very hard decision but in the end I chose my aunt and uncle only because of the fact that I could but tomorrow had in store for me. And with my mom I didn’t know if I was even going to wake up the next day. Well a couple of years passed and I got an anonomous call from whom I did not know. Telling me how I made an amazing decsion and she is very proud of me for making the right choice for my brother and sister and she will be praying for us. She never did tell me who she was and to this day I still wonder who she is. That just goes to show you that your actions and deeds don’t always have to be bad they could also be good. Zig Ziglar also once said “You are the only person on earth to use your ability”. I plan on using my abilitys to find that anonomous caller who told me that I made a good choice. Because theres not a day that goes by that I don’t wonder if I passed her on the street or in a store. I plan on controlling my actions weather there good or bad do you. And you using my ability’s to the fullest. And I think you should to. My most favorite quote is “success means doing the best we can with what we have, success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be”. I think that anyone can be successful but they have to put there actions and abillitys together.
