Hello everybody! I've been gone for quite awhile but now since school is over I am back!!! This post is actually a English essay I wrote awhile back. I wanted to share with you guys because it's part of my life story :) Enjoy Growing up was a tough path for me to walk through. I was a internally troubled child, but I always had a smile on my face. It was very easy for me to put on a mask and make my parents believe everything was fine.
In middle school, specially in 6th grade I was a "two face". In reality that was my biggest mistake, because I wanted to fit in so bad that I lost my own personality. As if I re-invented myself according to whom I was with. I was a happy Bianca today, a wild Bianca tomorrow and the cycle went on... I was a follower and never a leader. In church, people always thought I was an angel but little did they know that it was all an act. My double life went on until the end of seventh grade. My choices led up to a major consequence, a unbearable life. I was empty, sad and I even had thoughts of leaving my house. However I kept it in so nobody really knew what was going on... except God.
My choices led me down into a path of disappointment and regret. I find it interesting that now I look back to 7th grade, and I wonder if I hadn't gone through that would I've be where I am today. All those decisions somehow led me to God. In those dark years, He shone His light upon me and He rescued my troubled heart. I wish I had enough words to describe how grateful I'm for having an opportunity of starting over. I ended up making the best decision of my life.
I still make mistakes because I am human but since I have Him inside of my life I know I can surpass anything and learn from it. He taught me to learn from my mistakes and grow as a person. Now I smile because I'm learning and growing ever since my Lord saved me.
