I was thinking today about my job. And I was contemplating all the things you see or hear everyday just because of where you are. I then remembered one day when I was life guarding, with one kid in the pool. I remember having such a bad attitude because I had to go out for one girl. But as always I became very easily entertained with it. I noticed how cautious she was and when she was getting and she got in little by little not splashing at all and barely making any ripples. Although she still did seeing it is impossible not to. She was just sitting on the stairs, when another kid came. The difference in attitude was huge. He was not cautious at all, instead he ran and did a cannonball in the deep end. Normally I would have yelled at him, but I was super caught up in what was happening. It was such a contrast from the little girl you didn't even make a splash to this little boy who made this huge impact and sent ripples all the way across the pool. It made me think how much that actually related to life.You can always go through life jumping in and making a splash!! You can affect so many people without even realizing it through one action. Just like the little boy he didn't see how far his ripples spread, but looking from the outside I saw that they affected the whole pool. You are always going to affect something just because your there, like the little girl, just by being there you affect someone or something, no matter how hard you try not to. But in my opinion why not jump in and make a splash and make as big of an effect on the world as you can. She how far your ripples will go. You may not see how many people or things you affect, but there are other people that will. No matter what you affect people!! Just make sure its how you would want to!!! Do that perfect dive don't just flop...
Its been so long I dont even remember how I end this... Ohh well I think it was something to the effect of .... Sooo Just love me... and remember to always make that big splash!!

This is a really good observation. Great analogy, too. You should do this more often; it's really uplifting.
