Just a quick note. In my speech class today we were told to stand up in front of the class and talk about something we had with us that meant a lot. I said my phone, made a few jokes, whatever. But something that really just opened my eyes was this 16 year old girl that stood up. Yes, Daytona let's high schoolers in college classes and they're annoying. She came up with a set of car keys and said that her "best friend" her "daddy" bought her a brand new car for her 16th birthday and without it she wouldn't be able to get anywhere and do anything.
Few things. I didn't get my own car until I was over 18 and even now I still share my sister's car (my fault but whatever). The big thing that I wanted to point out is that my parents weren't wealthy. They made sure I never went without but couldn't afford to buy my lavish cars like a 2012 Lexus. Yes, they did buy me all 3 cars that I have had. A 1992 Infiniti G20, a 1998 Ford Mustang and a 1999 Kia Sportage. My point is... I work hard for what I have. Yes, my parents have gotten me a lot of stuff over time but it just seems to fail in comparison to a brand new car for her 16th birthday and it made me realize that I want to make sure to work hard and earn everything I get because without the hard work and the struggle, you don't appreciate it. That's all I wanted to say. See you tomorrow. :)
