Who are you?

"We are never too old to set a new goal or to dream a new dream." ~ C.S. Lewis



We constantly ask ourselves this same question. Who am I? Do I as a person deserve to be recognized as an individual? Are our differing personalities acknowledged?
I would love to say yes to the last question, but the real answer is no. People will see you and instantly judge you by how you look, what you're wearing, what you say, ect.
I try my hardest not to judge people and its hard. Judging is taught. We are not born and suddenly like, ooo that girls shorts are super short!
We are taught by the people arround us.
Lets talk about little kids for a moment. They are so strange in their thinking methods. They give things away easily. You like my toy? Here. You keep it.
If you ask a child what he/she wants to be when they grow up they will give you an answer that seems unlikely or silly, but they chose that for a reason. They think they can help by doing that job. I always wanted to be an Archeaologist.
What do you want to do?
Now we will go back to our first topic. I dont care what you have done. I care about who you are. So go ahead and comment and tell me something about yourself. Favorite color or animal. Anything you want. And do follow the crowd, thats too mainstream. Be yourself, because you will never know who that is untill you try. 

Hero

" A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders, to let him know the world hadn't ended." ~ Bruce Wayne, Dark Knight Rises

This is my dog Tawney. He is an Australian Shepard-American Eskimo mix. Last summer (As in 2011) I was calling the dogs in and Tawney wouldnt come so after a while I went looking for him. I found him down by the road unresponsive to me trying to get him to get up and come with me. I ran to my house crying. I ended up telling my dad about him and my dad who hates animals went and carried him all the way to the house. That might not seem like much, but we live in the country. It was a long walk.

We took Tawney to the vet and found out that his leg is broken and he needed surgery. We got the surgery plans set up and we were ready to have Tawney back when the vet called and said they couldnt fix his leg.

And that I had two choices.

These choices were complete opposites. One was selfish and the other was careless. Amputate his leg or kill him. How was that fair?

I said to amputate. Tawney is still here today. He lost his left back leg and he is amazing. He swims in the lake and runs and plays with his brother. He even manages to lift his only back leg and pee... Just so you know its really weird to see your dog on its front legs. :)

And now that you know the back story I can tell you about how being a hero ties into this. My dad was a hero for bringing Tawney to the house. And Tawney was once a hero for saving a chicken that got stuck in the lake.

And Batman is right. Any one can be a hero. You never really know how much you can do for someone. Even offering the homeless man a smile can help. Or holding a door for someone. So, go ahead. Be a hero. It doesnt matter if someone remembers you for it because you will know you did something to help someone else in the end.

Hello

Hi, I'm Kole. And I have a lot of goals in life. I'm 16 years old and I plan on reaching all of my goals. I'm not your average teenage girl. I'm very stubborn and I like to succeed in my goals.
But I struggle with balancing my small social life, community service, goals, family and everything else. And I tend to get depressed.
And the point of this blog is to help people, because I just want to help people. Do you ever have questions that you wish you could ask someone you didnt know? I do.
Or just someone to make you smile with something. Or even just to give you hope or an idea or a reason.
I hope I can be adequate for whatever you might want as help.
I'm Kole.
And I'm here.
For you.
