Lessons on Taking Risks

The Guffin 2nd First Years!! (Left to Right: Kendel,Samantha, Megan, Chelsea, Sammie, Tierra)

Hello!! It's been a super week in Guffin 2nd!! After folding a batch of men's clothes anonymously a lot of Guffin 2nd went to the King of Prussia mall, which left Chelsea and I together for bonding (which was great because we have been wanting to bond over a movie for so long!). We chose to bond over the movie "High School Musical". While we were making fun of the cheesy scenes and predictable plot, we didn't realize that we were about to learn something that can really alter our life experiences.
Friday night was the sock hop here at EU. G 2nd has been talking about the sock hop since we learned about it. While Chelsea and I were walking to dinner, we passed a friend who invited us to go to the Swing Dancing Club. Despite the fact that we were both pretty nervous, we made a decision pretty quickly that we would go. We took a risk. We ended up having so much fun!!!! We learned new tricks and we also learned to take risks.
What if Troy and Gabriella never sang "The Start of Something New" on that News Years Day? What is they never took that risk? I'll tell you what would happen. High School Musical would have never made it to senior year. A lot of adolescence make fun of this movie (because sometimes, it's way to easy) but the truth is, it offers us lessons about life, like taking risks. If you have ever taken a risk, whether the outcome was good or bad, you have probably questioned what would have happened if you didn't take that risk. Sometimes, we benefit from risks and sometimes we don't but the truth is, if we don't take risks, life is just going to drone on. You are living life just to live life. I'm not saying to take huge risks everyday of your life (because some decisions require time and thought) but just taking a small risk everyday and bigger ones every once in a while can really transform our lives.Taking risks makes our lives interesting and sometimes the best things in life happen when you take those risks.
Moral: Take risks sometimes, you never know where they can take you
