It was the most difficult time of my life. Looking back I now realize it has been a great lesson. I learned everything is temporary or I should say everything poisoned is temporary but the lesson is permanent. I learned that this life is a balance. When you feel sugar you'll also feel salt. You will feel love, but pain will follow. You will feel pain, but love will follow. When I learned to love the parts of life I hated I expanded as a person mentally and emotionally. Every feeling, every person, every situation (and the list goes on) is a lesson. Life has been a greater lesson than school has ever been and because of life I am grateful in every way, everyday and every ticking second.
