Short Inspirational Stories

Sometimes when I want to give up....

Sometimes, when I feel like I can't focus on my school work and I can't understand quickly and I want to give up and maybe play a bit or do something else. I get really frustrated. But then, I would think about what my mom says, "You are very lucky you get to choose which school you want to go to, because there are those that are not given a choice and worst not given a chance to enjoy and experience being in school let alone a great school that you go to." So I refocus and really feel how lucky I am to be studying ,learning and exploring. And I would rededicate myself by saying, I will not waste this and I will do this for those children who are unable to do it for their future.

Sometimes, when I feel I am always wrong and my mom is always right, I do feel like giving up and just letting my mom do her thing. But it doesn't work that way in our home. She always turns things around and make me believe that she cannot live without me and that I am her whole world. She gets quadruple hurt more than me, she gets triple the worry than me, and she is also learning from me. So how can I always be wrong?

Sometimes, when my friends turn out to be mean and fake friends after all, I want to give up on these whole friendship idea. I just want to be with my mom and brother. They won't betray me. They won't hurt and lie to me. They won't back stab me. They won't create horrible, bad stories about me to ruin my reputation. My mom doesn't like fake friends too and she avoids them. She has survived with only me and my brother, so I can be like that as well. But mom says, its a part of growing up and discovering this world we live in. I just have learn to choose which ones will help me grow to become a better person and become who I want to really be. Don't be discourage but be aware that there are those that will hurt you, and there are those who will cherish you as well.
