"Star"

A Feature Article

By: Allyson Jane Cruz

“Life is a game of choice; to rise or to fall.” Life is not easy. It has thorns and spikes within it. It is not a rainbow that is full of happiness. There are ups and downs and it’s your choice to decide.

Everyone pictured their dreams as a star; shiny, splendid, and inspirational. Star seems so distant and unreachable for us. Many obstacles are waiting before you can finally reach it.

The journey in accomplishing dreams is hard. There are problems and challenges along the way, it can make or break you. Those things can turn you down and end the journey.

As you decide to quit and stop dreaming, your heart will push you to something. It will push you to go forward and keep on moving. It will teach you that “Your dream becomes like oxygen. You need it to breathe. You need it to grow. You need it to live.”

You need to risk. You need to sacrifice. You need to work hard. Because in the end: if you never stop, if never quit, and if you always believe, you are the winner. You can reach the brightest and shiniest star of your life.

“Quitters never succeed.” In every no you make, you closed the possible door that is waiting for you. Never let any challenge pin you down. Always stand up and keep looking up for the star.
