It's a Monday morning 9:21 am, just got in my second block class.

So tell me, what was the first thing that came to your mind when you woke up this morning?..... When you left your house did you make your bed? Did you tell your mom or the person you live with that you love them before you left? When you walked out of the house into the cold, standing their knowing that you have a ride to school, waiting to pick you up. Have you ever thought once how lucky you are? Knowing that their is someone their to wake you up for school on time or having and alarm clock to do so. Have you ever thought just once how lucky you are to have a bed to make after you wake up from it? Have you you ever thought how lucky you are to have someone to tell them that you love them before you leave the house. Have you ever thought just once how lucky you are to have a parent, a parent to get on you for doing something bad. And you say you have it hard in life....(ha)

What about the people that don't have a bed to sleep in or a bed to make after they wake up. What about the people that don't have anyone to tell them that they love them. What about the people that don't have no way to school on a cold day. what about the people that don't have no one to wake them up for work or school? What about the people that has no parents to teach them right from wrong.

So your parents give you money when you ask them for some, to walk up to the store, or go to the movies something like that. But that day they said no, so you get all mad at them for not giving you any money. Your getting mad for nothing STOP IT!!!. Did you work for that money? hmmm.... yeah didn't think so. But people out there work all the time everyday to support their family or there self but look what they get...... and their not getting all mad, when they should be. Why don't you take a few mins. and look over your life. Look at all the details, all the times when you never got your way, and the times when you did get your way for nothing you've done...... alot huh? thats pretty sad. well I was once like you but I changed. I remember I was one of those people. I make my bed, I told my foster mom that I love here and thanks for all she does.
TRUTHS: I use to not have a bed to wake up from. I woke up from a cold hard tile floor with a pocket knife by my side. I had no one to go to.
Next time make your bed before you leave and tell your mom you love her. You never know, you may not come back
