Seems like everything is kind of happening too fast, I mean it feels like yesterday I was balling it up at Hathaway with my whole crew,or walking home from school and laughing the whole way. My group sophomore year were the funniest people I have ever been around and the group that I chill with now doesn’t really reflect my personality at all but its whatever. Just seems like a group that kind of just got mashed together because there is no one else to chill with.I think I’m on my way to growing up because I’m slowly starting to buy things without asking my mom for money, I have my own Debit card so I don’t need her card anymore. Feels better when you buy things yourself, with your own money, that you worked for. Guess you could say im on my way to growing up, guess you could say its bittersweet.
Honestly I couldn’t wait until I was out of high school and getting ready to go to college, but tomorrow is my last home game at Prospect. It sucks to know that im never going to wear my white Prospect jersey again. Honestly I wish I could go back to my jv year and just re-live all my memories and all the good times that I’ve had, but we can’t live in the past so im going to look forward to my future. Haha seriously seems like yesterday i was out on the middle school bball court playing in a polo, jeans, and some kobes with my curly hair bouncing everywhere
When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
‘Now,’ said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else —The small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ He continued,
there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are important to you.
So…
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
‘Take care of the golf balls first —
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled
‘I’m glad you asked’.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
There’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’
Religion makes you blind, but Jesus makes you see.
