"....life isn't about keeping score. it's not about how many people call you, and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or havent
dated at all. it isn't about who you kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. its not about your shoes or your hair or the color of
your skin or where you live or go to school. in fact, its not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. life isnt about if you have
lots of friends, or if you are alone, and its not about how acccepted or unaccepted you are. life just isnt about that. but life is about who you love. and who
you hurt. its about how you feel about yourself. its about trust, happiness, and compassion. its about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate
with love. life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. Its about what you say and what you mean. its about seeing people
for who they are and not what they have. most of all, its about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been
achieved otherwise."
