~:[CH6 - Day 119]:~ Until the Very End

I was pretty exhausted. I couldn't keep my eyes open at some point and felt like laying down on a bench. I wasn't feeling well today, but, I battled through. I kept hearing my head, "you're not always going to feel your best." I knew I had to battle through the day, but wondered if I really could. From committee to committee, it was nice to see the freshman improve since their first conference in September. This conference can be a little bittersweet, as I send them off into the Model UN world ahead as I get a new batch of kiddos next year. Regardless, I am so proud of all of the students who improved so much! By days end, we had 25 awards including four best delegates. Still exhausted, I dragged myself to the bus and even survived a dinner at Sweetee Thai. As I kept dragging through, I thought to myself, sometimes in our lives, we'll feel exactly this way. We'll think we cannot go on at times and it will feel so miserable. For some it will be worse than others, but regardless, you must know that you need to battle until the very end. Don't give up on yourself, rather, test your limits until you cannot test yourself any further. As while it may be painful or while it may be much easier to lay down and sleep, you are not someone who can give up, who will back down or who will give in. Battle until the very end and who knows, maybe you'll find a treasure buried deep within yourself.
