Change... it happens!

For some people, change is very hard. Whether its physical, emotional, mental or maybe school/work, we all go through it.

Change is necessary for our lives to stay exciting and versatile. Growing and learning from mistakes comes from changing something in our lives. With a new school year approaching, change is right here.

As a kid/teen I attended 9 different schools k-11. It was hard each time because I'd have to make new friends, adjust to a new environment and learn to accept it. Looking back at it now, it was a good thing. Each change was to help me improve my life and my future.  I made so many different friends and I had so many different experiences that brought new opportunities. Being a military kid now makes everything I experience from now on an easier transition. I accept change and all that it has to offer me.

Change forces us to step back and assess our lives. Difficulties or trials we go through are not only a change in and of themselves in our lives but, they encourage us to change our attitudes and to strengthen ourselves.

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."
-Maya Angelou
Time will change the physical world, but the rest of it comes from us and the choices we make. Change is good and with the right attitude, can be the best window of opportunity we have to work for a better future!
