JACOB:

There was a time in my life when I thought I knew the world..thought I was part of this world…Am I? When I turn on the t.v. to watch the news, all I see is sadness, pain, tragedy, death and it kills me. I always get this little twinge in my heart.

I live my life because I want to make this world better. Can one man do that? Is changing the world actually possible? I think about that when my days are rough. All I do is try. I fight with all my heart to pursue what I believe in. I’ve been at it now for what seems to be a lifetime already. Somedays I want to give up, some days I have a mental/emotional breakdown. I hide it. Keep the bad days to myself.

I think about the people I love. I think about my brothers face…I think about my grandmother dying in the hospital. I think about the pains of my mother and the struggles of my father. I think about my cousins. I think about the hardships my family has faced.

You know, just one day I hope that the way I’ve lived my life will matter, matter for good.

I hope I can make it happen…
