Let the questions begin

Throughout my life I have found myself hesitant to ask many questions. Anywehre from “how did you do that math problem again?” to ” how do you drive a standard?” But, the one question that I now feel stupid for asking, is “is this really worth it?” I haven’t had it easy during highschool. Sophomore year, I had a rough ending of the year. And I began tellin myself school wasnt worth stressing over. But, I had all the right people backing me up.

A few of my teachers Sophomore year went out of their way to help me get through the year. Thankfully with the right help, I was able to get through the year. My biology teacher was very understanding of my situation. Once he found out I was going to be out of school for two months, he altered his labs that way I was able to do the work from home. I told myself daily this isnt worth it anymore. How was I supposed to finish all my classes on time if I wasnt going to be at school for the remainder of the year? Without my biology teachers help, I wouldnt have been able to get the credits of three reqired classes.

Junior year was a lot better for me. I was able to attend school full-time again. I started off on the right path. I was doing my school work on time, and was getting great grades on all my work. But, I was struggling with my job. I was dealing with a form of harassment at work that brought me to leaving that job. My issue was finding another job that would continue to pay my bills. I thought to myself multiple times, is this really worth it? Should I continue working even with the extra stress this on me? I could sell my car, and go back to taking the bus. THis owuld have saved me so much money! But, Having a car meant having freedom. I wasnt about to give that up. I pushed through, and found another job.

My senior year has been rough. I don;t even know where to begin! School seems to be harder for me, my work life is stressing me out more than normal, and my personal life is throwing more obstacles at me every day. Im constantly asking myself is this really worth it? Well, when life has me down, I look to those who are their for me. My friends have been here for me when I need them, and some teachers at my school have my back when things got tough. Even though telling me I won’t go to the Career Development Confrence for JMG really bothered me, It got me in gear to bust out my capstone. Even thoguh senior year has been tough, I have the right people pushing me through.

In the end, yes. It is worth it. Pushing though these obstacles are building me as a person. Even though life has got me down, some of my teachers are pushing me to never give up, and to push through even when things fall apart. My friends are helping me by keeping me busy when my personal life slows me down. My coworkers help me to push through the stressful times and to realize that I get paid by the hour, and that eventually I’ll have a better job, making double what I’m making now. When life gets tough, I need to tell myself to never give up, rather than is it really worth it. Because yes, it is worth it.
