How to survive life’s test

I believe in a strong head, love, and courage will help you to succeed in life I have learned that from the wonderful, amazing father that took me in. He is the one that taught me to have a strong head on my shoulders. He always has kept a strong head through his tough times. My father is one who changed his life around the time when he had is son born and married my amazing mom.

My father has also taught me love, love is something to believe in. That will help keep you going no matter what. That if we want it and work hard to keep it in a healthy manor we will get it. Love has kept me moving forward for the last 6 months. When times have felt like it was going down hill I just remember all the love that I have in my life. This is also something that keeps me welded together. When I know a strong head and love won’t be enough, I believe courage will help me.

I had the kind of a rough life. Heres and example of what im going to talk about next. I was diagnosed with belspalis and than my parents got a divorce. My whole left side of my face went numb, I couldn’t smile normal and I couldn’t close my left eye. When I would sleep I would have to put medical tape over it. It sucks when you are ten years old and your whole left side of your face is numb. I was made fun off and I hated going to school. I wasn’t hurt physical, I was hurt more mentally. I ended up having it for a whole year. Lets just say that it sucked WAY bad. My father Chris was a lot of the stress that caused the belspalis or at least I say so. That was the time that my parents were getting a divorce. After that last year of what I thought in my head as hell sucked and I never want to go back to it. But all and all it took a lot of courage to get through to all the hard time and stress. I know that at one point I would get out of all of the stress and the belspalis would go away and finally after a cry of tears,moving trucks, courts, and lawyers it was all over with. The stress was gone and even though the belspals didn’t go away but it calmed down and I can move my face and close my eye. It just doesn’t show in less I am stresses. It took all my courage and faith.

When I knew that a strong head and love was only 2/3rds of life’s test I have my courage. Courage is what got me to where I am today with my strong head, love, and courage. I know im going somewhere. Look I was right after a rough, rough, year I now live in Oregon, going to school, playing tennis, and live with an amazing family. Also in love with the most amazing person ever.
