"There are seven billion people on this planet, and 197 countries I have not visited. Yet I am stuck in this insignificant town, being pressured into making decisions about my future when I barely know who I am" - Unknown

This was the quote the started it all. As I began thinking I started realizing how many days pass by without being appreciated. Everyday we encounter new individuals and I began realizing the people we met along the way are the ones responsible for laying the foundation for the rest of our lives. People will constantly be coming in out of your life, but its the moments when your present crosses with another persons present that a gift is truly given. Time is the most precious factor in anyones life. At the end of each day we don't think about the clothes we bought or the food we ate our minds reminisce the time spent with another laughing, crying, or just living. Whether it is a good memory or a bad they all serve a purpose greater than our knowledge. I truly believe each person that comes in our path was put there for a greater purpose. The time the person spends in your life whether it be short, long, or only a few moments they were adding a pebble to the path being laid for the rest of your life.

Everyday people are the true idols  for our society. Young children, teenagers, and adults should be modeling their lives and aspirations after veterans, teachers, firefighters, doctors, assistants, hair dressers, farmers the everyday working class hero's that make our country EXTRAORDINARY.
