This was written by another first year student that I go to school with and it really spoke to me.

Who do we want to be?If we want to be just plain ordinary people,all we have to do is follow the crowd and do as everyone else does.But as for me that doesn't sound exciting enough! I want to be great because we were meant for greatness!! The deal is greatness comes with a price. It means taking the high road when everyone else takes the easy way. It means going above and beyond! having morals and integrity that you WILL NOT sacrifice for anything! It means having extreme character! Something is worthless unless you pay a price for it,therefore the bigger battle you have fought the more valueable it becomes! There are no heroes without wars, and no victories without battles! Will we rise up and live a life of excitement,danger,and destiny? Will we choose to join the ranks of amazing men and women before us who have changed the world? The cost is high,the danger is great! My question to YOU is this...the choice is yours right now! Will you choose to take the normal route and stick with the crowd? Do you want nothing more than a barely average normal life? A life of no danger and no excitement. A life where nothing is valued because you have let the crowd destroy and trample everything you hold dear. OR... will you choose to step away from the crowd and enter the unknown... Will you choose to fight for what is right!? Remember.... you will not find heroes in a crowd! Heroes are winners and the crowd despises winners because they stand for things that the crowd has long made useless because they didnt have the guts or the balls to take a stand for it!! Believe me!! This is costly! But God... it is soo worth it!! so exciting!! Everyday is a new adventure and the possibility of a battle worth fighting! Doesn't that excite you and stir your heart? Start standing for something! stand for what you believe! Instead of going with the flow, take the high road! Do yourself a favor and start living the exciting life God has created for you and me. God is an exciting person! He is not who you were taught He is. (just someone in the sky to punish us when we sin) NO! Jesus took ALL our punishment when He was beaten and died on the cross! Please understand this. God is always in a good mood, and He's the happiest and funnest person you will ever find! Will you choose to become a world changer??? the crowd might scoff at you but remember they only scoff because they don't like winners!!! Do YOU have something worth fighting for?!?!
