Unquestionably On Fire
It takes a lot of strength, courage, and ambition to be a girl on fire. Those are some of the most important characteristics a female can possess living in this time period. We live in a society where morals have been chattered, adolescence has furtively become adulthood, the unheard of becomes the new normal, and standards are almost unheard of. If a woman can overcome all of these tribulations thrown at her, she is unquestionably on fire.
Morals are beliefs concerning what is acceptable, and what is unacceptable. Nowadays, anything has become acceptable. Premarital sex, prostitution, pregnancy, gangs, violence, and under aged smoking, drinking, and pill popping are topics that can now be heard in the typical conversations of teenagers. They are tortured with the desire to give in and engage in these activities. If a girl can keep her morals high and live by them to resist the peer pressure, even if it means standing alone, she is unquestionably on fire.
Adolescence is a period in life where a person is transitioning from being a child to becoming an adult. It is a time of growth and innocence. Nowadays, that chance to actually grow can often be rushed and the period of innocence is taken for granted. Female teenagers are often forced to handle way more responsibility than they should have to. A broken home causes the teenager to step up and play the role that was taken away, whether it is mother, father, or both. She is often forced to get a job to help out with bills, miss important high school functions to babysit little siblings, and make tedious decisions that can affect the life of her family and herself. If a girl can turn this into a motivational force to drive her to success, she is unquestionably on fire.
I have been on this Earth for 16 great years. I have dealt with many obstacles, more than a teenager should be faced with. Yet, I still remain with a smile on my face every day. I know that I have a great future ahead of me, and I refuse to let meaningless things ruin that. I WILL be successful because I have the brains, confidence, and determination to do so. I am a girl who with the strength of my faith, family, and mind, will never give up. I am unquestionably on fire.
