It's Never Too Late
Good Morning! I hope this blog finds you all well and blessed this morning! Over the last couple of days I have been taking my older cousin to school in order to get his GED. He is 28 years old and he never graduated from High school. During his years throughout school he was very intelligent and athletic. Somewhere along the way he lost focus and began stirring down the wrong road. He started hanging out with the wrong crowd of people and lost sight of his hopes and dreams. It's a part of life and it happens to the best of us. Now, he has 3 kids and he wants to do better by his kids and start by obtaining his GED. At first he was a little apprehensive about going back to school since he is now 28. He felt as if people were going to judge him and look down on him. Truth is there are people older than him going to school as well trying to get their GED as well. Everyone there is there for the exact same reason, so there was no need to feel discouraged. I have to commend him because he is doing so well and his teachers told him that he was very intelligent and has great potential, which I already knew that! So for anyone that has never graduated from High school or obtained their GED, It's never too late! Don't be discouraged and talk yourself out on bettering yourself. Things are not always what they look like or what they feel like. Sometimes in life we go through things that only make us stronger and give us the strength to better ourselves. You have to first start by believing in yourself and giving your self a chance. No matter how much time you may have wasted or have lost over the years, it's NEVER too late. This applies to any other things that you may feel like it's too late. Whatever it is, know that God is not constantly reminding you about it, if it was too late to do it! Get up today and take back what your past has stolen from you!!
