Life Is the One Thing We Cant Rewind...
When I was young, I had a dream. Where’s that dream now? It never happened.

People dream. In grade one we all wanted to be superheroes, grade two and three we wanted to be models or spies. In grade five we began to realize that there are more options and we wanted to be teachers, astronauts and firefighters. Then we realized that those jobs don’t pay so well, so we went for other options. Surveys show that less than 1% of kids chose the career they picked in grade 2. Why is that? Because people don’t follow their dreams.

When you ask a jailbird why his life turned out this way, he’d probably say it was because of bad choices, and that he’d give anything to undo them. When we make mistakes, we regret it, but God tells us that he put you on a path, and that everything has a purpose. We just have to embrace our destiny and choose with Him.

Teenagers would often say: “if I knew then, what I know now, I wouldn’t have done that! Or wouldn’t have gotten caught.” And where do they get it? Older role models say: “Is that the passing average now a day? I wouldn’t have studied so hard when I was in school.” That is where it begins, and then they turn out with problems and môre problems, why? Because they didn’t do their best!

Everyone everywhere wishes in some time of his/her life that he/she could do something over; whether it is a business deal a dream left a dream or a choice. The fact stays: “In life there is no pause button, no rewind, and definitely no replay.” S Williams. So just live life to the full, and never look back, because you can’t change the past, you can only change the future, and God will be with you, every step of the

    When I was younger I had a very vibrant dream in the back of my mind. My family has never been the rich family, and I have never gotten everything I wanted. I had this dream, that I would be the one to save my family from poverty. I’d get famous, have tons of money, and bring my family to live in my mansion. Most of my time was spent thinking about that single dream that I had for years.…

    It's a person's choice of which path they want to take in the future but without help they can choose the wrong path. As Dr. Seuss said in his poem" I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true and Hang-ups can happen to you." My Perspective is that careers is a very important course in high school because it helps students discover their skills and choose the right career. Careers will show kids how to create and do different aspects of getting a job and starting a career. It will let them explore the different opportunities for them in the future and educate them to choose the career best for them. In…

    There are two jobs that no children ever want to do when they grow up. Not one child tells their parents, ‘I want to be a gleaner when I grow up,' or ‘I want to be a dumpster diver.' Every child grows up thinking they are going to be a doctor or an astronaut when they get their parents age and they are going to be rich. Wouldn't there be something wrong with a kid who wanted to be something other than the best? As I have read more about dumpster diving and gleaning, I have began to wonder if it is really that bad. Why shouldn't a child want to grow up to be either the dumpster diver or the gleaner?…

    Have you ever wondered where you would be if you would have chosen another path? Have you ever wondered how that choice could have changed your life if you would have made it? Often I look back and think about my past and look at the places I have been and the things I have done. Some things I’m not proud of. Some of those things bring back vague memories. Whether they are good or bad they still come back to me. Everything we do is based upon choices. After we make those choices there comes consequences. We can never decide our consequences, they just come.…

    From the time we enter kindergarten until the time we exit college we are poked and prodded and led in the direction of the average; of the middle-class. Athletic dreams are squashed at an early age save the very few exceptional talents, artistic pursuits deemed unnecessary unless you are the second-coming of Picasso or Shakespeare, traveling and seeing this incredible world first hand is to be put off in favor of your "education" and "real life".…

    God expects me to make mistakes and learn and grow from them. I know understand how my soul is safe because of Gods grace. Even though this is true I still try to follow the examples Jesus has set for me. I believe God has a plan for me and I do my best to follow that plan and live my life the way I believe he wants me to. I have strayed from what I truly believe is his plan for me and found myself miserable. I think God has a plan for everyone and they will only be truly happy and bountiful in life if they follow that…

    However, the dream has changed over time. It was different in the twenties because social status was a huge factor just like money. Now money is still a huge factor, but not everyone is effected by social status. The thing that stayed the same was what happens when your dream is achieved. When the dream is achieved it is not a dream anymore it is a reality. A dream is in someones mind so it can be obtained.…

    The steps I intend to take would be to take my time, think through all my decisions and just do what makes me happy. I won’t put blame on anyone else for the mistakes I have made because my life can only be changed and affected by what I choose. “But if I put my head deliberately into the fire, there is no appeal to fire or the maker of the fire, and I have only myself to blame.” (Thoreau, Henry D., Walden) Life is absolutely unpredictable but you can control your actions.…

    Evidently, our whole childhood, we are told we can do anything and be whomever we choose to be. But the people around us and the views that they have been conditioned to hold can help us or hurt us. Our mentors don’t just advise us to choose a “wiser” career choice, but order us to. It is understandable from a certain standpoint that our guardians and mentors only what the best for us and want the generation to be even more successful and frankly, be more wealthy than they are.…

    Further, regret often comes when looking back on opportunities not seized. There are many things I wish I would have done, or tried, or stuck with throughout life. As a child, I was involved in dance and piano. Upon reflection, if I could do it again, I would have stuck with these things even though a fifth grade version of me saw it as overwhelming and impossible. With years of weekly lessons, these traits would no longer be difficult.…

    The answer to this question isn't simple, the truth is that there are many variables that will affect whether or not a person reaches their dreams, there is bias and prejudices people have, there are personal interests that come into play,there is even a bit of luck that affects where we end up in the pyramid of life. In conclusion there are many obstacles that can bring a person down and not as many solutions. As time goes on instead of us finding better ways to reach the “American Dream” we are forcing youth to join into the competitive world at younger ages. Anna Quindlen worded it best “You all will live longer than any generation in history, yet you were kicked into high gear earlier as well.”[Anna Quindlen, An Apology To The Graduates(4)] Quindlen goes on to describe life as a “relentless treadmill since you enter preschool at he age of 2”. So in this exhausting society that is ever evolving to increase the work load of it's youth, forcing them to have resumes that rival that of college graduates out of high school how can the “American Dream” be anything more than a myth? The answer is simple, America was founded by workers and has ever since been a nation of workers, Benjamin Franklin described America as “a land of labor” and warned “those interested in a life of leisure need not apply”.[Textbook page 192(5)]…

    Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it. Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. He thought of you first. It was not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you! The Bible says, “The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me.” Romans 122:2 (NIV)…

We live in a society where parents today have not held their children accountable for their actions. Kids today think that parents will get them out of any negative situation they encounter even if they are at fault.

One poor decision could result in jail or prison time which in turn could affect the rest of their lives.…
