I would like to share with you guys what God has done in my life recently. My Junior year of high school (2003-2004) was absolutly terrible. Things were always going wrong. In my advanced theater class I tried out for a part in the school play. I didn't make it. So I was put on set crew; the group that recieved the most harassment in the class. We finished all of our duties on time, but we were the only group that got C's and D's instead of A's. The teacher undoubtably picked favorites. On top of all of this, I was having a very hard time with one of my best friends (heartache) and dealing with multiple stomach disorders. 
.My meloncholy nature didn't help at all either. I would cry to sleep at night often and ask God why this was happening to me. I understood that problems make us stronger, but personally I was pushed near the limit. I could go on and on feeling sorry for myself, but this is not the point of the story at all. At the end of last schoolyear, my best friend Marcus talked to me about going to Grand Rapids Baptist High School. My family had debated this before, but it was definitly not in our budget. To make a long story short, I ended up going there and it is absolutly AWESOME! I now realize that if I didn't go through that pain then I wouldn't be here. Now that I am eighteen so many more oppertunities are opening up for me. I am soon going to start a Bible study with several friends. I am actually smiling! 
It feels so good. So many people are noticing this new change of attitude in me. Thank you so much God!
