The Wise Man Once Said

A very special man in my life once had told me, “ Enjoy your years of life while you can, just do it in a healthy way.” What he meant by this statement was go ahead and have fun but do it in a way that I am pleasing God and my parents. Don’t go out and party with the wrong crowd and make a pity fool out of myself. He has always told me that our society sets us young people up for failure in life. My father has always been a great mentor in my life, I have always been able to look up to him and know that I can follow in his footsteps. My dad was able to have fun throughout his childhood and young adult years, yet he had always done it in the right way.

I believe that the fact of him following God throughout his childhood years allowed him to enjoy life so much more. He had a blast riding dirt bike with his siblings. Riding motorcycle with his cousins was a big excitement in the eyes of my dad. Throwing a line with bait on the end always brought my dad to happiness. Along with going to college and meeting the love of his life. “ I couldn't have asked for a better life,” My dad told me as we ended the interview.
