"In life, you walk a path. You walk and you walk, trying to understand who you really are until one day, you reach a halt. You are given a choice.

I wrote this quote out of inspiration of a story that my language arts teacher read to the class.
"Don't build up obstacles in your imagination. Live a fulfilled life. Stand up to what holds you down and do something to it. The difference between a winner and a failure is the extra step they take.What makes you who you are today are obstacles; feed on them, don't quit! Push on!"
