~:[CH6 - Day 276]:~ Finding the Ohana
It doesn't always happen instantaneously. However, over time, people grow together and in each other, they find a place of comfort; a place of love. They find a place they can call their own and be around people who they can rely on. It doesn't happen for everybody, but many, will eventually find their place. Picture day is one of my least favorite days of the year, but it also tends to be one of my favorites as I see these connections coming together as the season continues on. People who knew nothing about each other grow together and face the daily struggles together. They deal with my wrath together and they celebrate together. There are definitely challenges that come in the process, but like most things in life, if you are willing to push forward, you will eventually find your way past all the obstacles in your way especially when you have the support of our ohana. As I snapped this photo on my phone, I first thought, wow, this photo turned out great! However, when I look closer, it was more than just the quality of the picture that was great, but seeing how close a freshman and a senior can become and to think about how these runners treat each other. They're will always be moments when they must endure, but when you're around so many incredible people, it's hard not to be successful in finding your place among the ohana. It may not have happened instantaneously, but today, I got a piece of what our perseverance has made, and I couldn't be prouder of the results. The world is a tough place and while we each will find a time where we fall, it's nice to know that you have an ohana there around you to help pick you up when you do fall. #ohanarnr
