How I stay strong
how I stay strong

Hello, my name is Athena and i'm 11 years old, I have 3 brothers also 2 amazing parents who love and support me so much. All my life I have had lots of up's and down's, but I have had to push through the down's and hope for the up's, although I've felt so much pain, everyday I rise above it and pretend that everything is fine even if its not. . . I have never told anyone this but now i'm am, Every morning I wake up and say " You got this, Whatever they say ignore it, your better than them, Rise above everyone become the greatest". I say those things because kid's are mean and don't care about others feelings, they will make you feel like no one else cares and sometimes I believe them. How hard it is I push through it. . . There's a quote I live by, We May Encounter Defeats But We Must Not Be Defeated - Maya Angelou. I live by this quote because, everyday kid's walk up to me and make me feel hurt and defeated, But as Maya Angelou said if we encounter defeats do not be defeated and that's when I gain so much confidence and stand my ground, stand taller than ever. . . but not every time this happens, sometime I fall down and loose so much confidence I cry myself to sleep. . . I wake up the next day stronger and better than yesterday I forgive myself if I make a mistake or lost a little bit of confidence because I know I will gain it back. I also remember sometimes we need someone and that someone is yourself, your probably confused but here's my thinking if we are upset the only person who knows what you want is yourself so I think really hard. What do I want?? sometimes I want to write in a notebook or talk to my brother or talk to myself whatever it is I do it because it might be the only way I feel happy. Now that you have heard my story and my thinking , I want you to reread the quote I live by and then say it out loud, it could be by yourself or with others anyway is perfect. . . Now that you have read the quote again, I have a quote for you to remember this week. . . The one who fall's and gets up is so much stronger than the one who never fell. Remember this and you will have a lot more success in life, but if you do fall get back up because you are a lot stronger than you know. -Athena
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
