Choose your friends wisely

Today I realized that the people I befriend and spend time with will have a great impact on who I will become. I accidently learned this at school when I sat next to a class student who is deeply focused in school.

If I want to be focused in school, pay attention in class and get good grades, whoever I choose to sit next to in class will have a great impact on how well I will do it. I don’t know how your high school works/worked, but in mine, there are two kinds of people; the people who talk and the people who read.

Situation; Talkers)
In my English class I have a group of friends I get along with really well, however, they are talkers. When I sit next to them, I always end up talking through the whole class. It is not in line with what I want to do, but I cannot help it.

Situation; Readers)
In my math club there are a couple of students who work really well together; they are always so quiet, and whenever they are talking they are helping each other with math problems. Whenever I am there I end up being just as deeply focused as they are.

Whether I choose to sit with the people I get along with best or the people who have the same goals as me, it will determine my educational future. (This is similar to what I became aware of today, but it is not precisely the same. It is meant as an example, and the idea of what I need to work on)

You have probably heard this quote; “Choose your friends wisely.”
I will certainly make better choices for myself by choosing my friends wisely.

Making conscious choices on whom to befriend will help YOU on the direction in life that YOU want to go.

What a miracle

I sat down on the toilet in the bathroom with a bag of chip’s a meter in distance from where I was sitting. I prayed to God, “Please give me the chips”. No response. I then prayed to all other Gods, “Please give me the chips”. No response. Then I tried sending out positive “vibes” to the universe, saying I WANT THOSE CHIPS. No response. I then figured that if I wanted those chip’s I had to go get them myself. No one was going to bring those chips to me. So I got up, grabbed the chips and ate the whole bag. It worked like a miracle.
