Hurricanes and People ~ How to Make it Through Life

Hurricane
=========

I'm only 15 and don't know much but I hope this story can help
someone like it did for me.

I went vacationing in Florida. I was staying in a rented house
in Clermont for about a week, and I was there during Hurricane
Charley. Luckily, no one I knew was killed or injured, but I am
sorry for those who were.

I remember the next morning, going outside and seeing everything
the hurricane had destroyed. There were trees that had been
torn out from the ground; some even were turned upside down.
Some cars, houses, and trailers had been dented and smashed.
Even billboards and signs were laying in the middle of the road.

But there was one thing that I thought was weird.

Almost everyone in Florida has a pool, with a screen-like thing
around it, to keep out bugs I'm guessing. These screens look
pretty flimsy and like they would fall down in an instant,
yet none of them were messed up at all.

I thought it was weird how this level four hurricane could
destroy huge things like trees, cars, and houses, yet these
little screens around the pool could stay up.

I later asked my dad how could they stand the hurricane while
the big things couldn't, and he said it was because they
basically let the air through them, since there are many holes.

I had what people call a Defining Moment.

What my dad told me also relates in the real world too.
If people won't budge at all (like the cars and trees), then
they'll get blown away and destroyed. But if people would act
more like the pool-screens, they could survive the "hurricane"
of life.

Instead of always having it your way, compromise with the wind.

That way you'll stay standing.


PEACE!
