life is a balance act I saw this because no life is all filled with good and, at the same time no life is all bad. We need the bad to make us appreciate the good things which happen to us. Likewise, we need the good to inspire and encourage to continue to do well. Many years ago, my parents threw a wonderful celebration for my 13th birthday It had everything a boy could want, there was all my favorite food different desserts, games cake friends, relatives and even a pinata. All my friends and l were playing in the back yard, felt happy because all of us enjoying of my birthday party After two hours of playing with friends we went to get some food was all good. At the night of all this happiness l felt, after five minutes I fainted and was rushed to the hospital. The wonderful day suddenly transformed into a nightmare. Thankfully, was diagnosed, medicated and made a full recovery. This taught me a life lesson first, things came and sometimes do change without warning, and second, I need to be strong and deal with any challenges which came my way Finally, I need to appreciate the good things in my life, but also respect the obstacles because that's the way life is As someone whose first language is not English. it wasn't easy for me be in school without knowing the language, everyday l worked hard to read, to speak, and write in english. It was difficult for me to learn a new language am proud to say that I am now bilingual and can easily speak read and write in two languages.As I prepare to graduate and continue my education by attending college I know there will be other obstacles for me to encounter and always working hard to improve my grades and reach my goal. know the road to success would not be easy but I will always do the right thing and l will never give up. I'm ready for all those obstacles and will welcome challenges because that's what makes us strong to surpass any obstacles to have a wonderful future and be able to reach my goal
