“Anthony should be living. He should be experiencing life like we are today. He was only 17. He never got married, got his G.E.D. or had children because his chance was taken away from him. It was not worth it. I don’t understand why so many people would go to the extreme of hurting or killing someone over something stupid. I think we all need to learn how to back away from trouble, and stay focused on what’s important. What I’ve learned from doing this article is when someone looks at me weird they are not going to be there when I get married or when my child is born, so why should I care about what they do?
I believe God put us on earth for a purpose. God blessed us with the gift of life and the chance to make choices, and the choices people make affect us in one way or another. So before you make a choice, think about how it will affect others, and in what way. If you have a dream go for it… you can do it. A barrier in front of your dreams is just another chance to prove to yourself what you can overcome.
“Everyone has his own specific vocation in life… therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.”
