Turning My Life Around

It’s another one of those days. I’m suspended again, until the super attendant of Kenton County Schools decides whether or not I get expelled. By law, that decision needs to be made within 10 school days, but according to my principal, it usually happens in six or seven tops.

While I’ve been sitting here at home, I’ve been pondering. What exactly am I going to accomplish in life? I’ve been suspended three times this year. I’m 14 years old, and I’ve been addicted to pills, had to run from the police on separate occasions,  been in about 5 fights, and I’ve been hanging with the wrong crowd. Whats a college going to say when I apply? My record is horrible. I mean yeah, I used to play sports and get good grades. Ever since I about socked my football coach in 8th grade, I’ve been getting in deep shit.

I’ve even been pushing my girlfriend away, thinking that maybe in some way she would come back and save me. But alas, I’ve failed again.

So I’m taking the time out to tell the world that I am done. No more shoplifting, no more fights. No more addictions, no more hurt. No more pain or suffering. I’m going to turn my life around before it’s too late. Whether I’m back at Dixie or in an alternative school, I will succeed. I will make a living and be more than well off. It’s my dream and nothing will ever stop me from achieving that.

I’ve got all the tools that I need now. I have a role model, music, skateboarding, an amazing girlfriend, and a house to live in. It’s up to me to change my past actions and turn my misery into heaven.
