What’s Your Score?
Do you know that it’s only your choices in life that make your score?

Life isn’t just about keeping score.
It’s not about how many people call you,
it’s not about who you’ve dated or haven’t dated at all,
What sport you play,
Or
which guy or girl likes you.
It’s not about your shoes or your hair
Or
the color of your skin,
Or
where you live or go to school,
In fact, it’s not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges.
Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone,
and it’s not about how accepted
or
unaccepted you are.
Life isn’t about that!
But life is about
who you love and who you hurt.
It’s about how you feel about yourself.
It’s about trust, happiness, and compassion.
It’s about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence.
