At one point in my life‚ before I entered into high school‚ I did not know the direction I was heading to. A time where‚ I felt‚ I did not have an exact purpose in life; where I did not care what could happen to me or anyone else.

If it was a few extra hours of studying to get a good grade‚ he would do it. But most of all‚ any time anything needs done
