It's Celebration Time!

Accomplishments. You have had so many of them. Getting A's in school, making friends, achieving your sports goals. These are all reasons to celebrate. You have put in all the time and effort, even on days where you didn't even feel like getting out of bed, and it definitely paid off. You have worked so hard to achieve all these amazing things, and I want to congratulate you in everything you have accomplished so far. 

I'm your cheerleader! In case you haven't heard it enough, I'm so proud of you for doing your best and completely dominating out there! Appreciation these days is very hidden behind the scenes, but you never know when that tiny bit of support can do wonders for a person. I've heard that support and praise can act as a jinx, and I totally see where people can get that idea. To be honest, I do believe in people stating the truth and not sugar coating. But every once a while, especially when we are in our darkest hour, a little kudos can go a long way. I've experienced failure countless times, and it's no doubt that I will fail more in the future. After so many falls, it surprises me how I still have hope when people have told me to completely give up on my goals. It's at times like these where I turn to those who will spark my energy to make a difference in my habits. 

Always have trust in who you are. Never forget that. Believe in yourself even if no one is there to support you. You are your biggest fan, share the success and learn from the tough times. Remember to not lose focus and stay humble, because things could possible take a turn for the worse at any moment. After you think about all that, take a deep breath and just go for it 100%! I know your capabilities and you can achieve them all. You have come so far and I want you to just keep going. Each day take steps to improve yourself as a person. It will get tough, but with the right attitude, you'll get through it so much easier. Finally, don't let anyone stop you from accomplishing what you genuinely want to. They don't understand how powerful your mind is compared to their words.  

You go guys! Keep up the good work! I can't see what amazing rewards are in store for your perseverance and determination! Chase your dreams!
