  • You know what I can't stand? Broken promises. People who say one thing
    and do another, and betray something they've known their whole life for
    the "new" thing, leaving all the hard work to the people who care. It's
    like Star Wars. The easy way out can often lead to bad things. What am
    I talking about? If I said so, I would hurt people, and I don't want to
    do that. I just need to express how much it sucks to be on the
    reciveing end of a broken promise, especially by someone who is
    supposedly such a good person. I sound mad, but that's 'cause I am.
    Commitment is something that can't just be dropped, and people need to
    learn that. I'm not saying I'm perfect; just saying that it seems that
    others haven't figured out what I've known since day one, 'cause that's
    the way I was raised. You hold to your commitments, no matter how rough
    things get. If you suddenly go join the "new" thing and leave everyone
    else out in the cold, you are really only hurting yourself in the long
    run by running away.

    Wow. That felt REALLY good. I needed that. Yeah. my day sucked. I hate
    school (I think I said that earlier), but whatever. I truly belive that
    school isn't that benaficial, and all you need to do is nail the SAT
    and you can go where ever you want. Heck, I'm in the smart people
    program and I'm one of the laziest, procrastinating people alive when
    it comes to school, but I nailed the PSAT and suddenly I'm smart.
    SUMMIT is awesome though, and I hope my lazyness doesn't get me kicked
    out. It most likely will, but whatever. I'll worry about that if it
    happens. Pray for my youth group. We're having difficulty with people
    leaving and not enough leaders. Just keep us in prayer.

    Although he'll never read this; David Tasky; you are the man.
