I work so hard and I get nothing

Hello Readers,

Are you or were you ever the type of person who works so hard and feels like you are not getting anywhere? Today I am going to discuss the workaholics who never really seem to catch a
break.
I remember when I was in 8th grade. I showed my writing to one of the faculty staff who just happened to be in charge of the school paper. She said my writing was excellent and since I loved to write that I should join the paper. (This was at the end of the year). Well, I gave her my work and she said she would put it in. When the school paper came out my work was never even in it. I remember how I put all of that work and nothing came out of it.
It also happened other times. I don't want you to think that I am not a good writer because I am. I just don't understand how people could say to write about something and then when you do it's not even in the paper.
In high school when I joined the paper it was the same thing so I dropped out. In college my work was getting put in all of the time. Until we had a new advisor. She made the meetings long and wanted you to interview people on campus. I know journalism is all about expanding your horizions and interviewing people. I am fine with that it's just that I did movie reviews or opinion articles. Even if I wrote movie reviews I had to get sources. My other friend also complained about it. I told her my ideas and wrote the article. She said it was excellent and when I got the paper my article wasn't in it. So I once again quit.
I don't want you to get the wrong idea to quit everytime you hit a rock. When you want something very bad you shouldn't quit.
I know how it feels to put your heart into something that you really want and in the end you feel that it was all for nothing. It hurts and it could be fustrating. No matter how bad it gets don't give up.
I am still writing to this day and hoping to get my works published one day. I may not be a best seller yet but I know that I am good and creative. Writing is also something that I love to do. I love to write all different genres of writing.
When you get bad critiques don't give up. It doesen't mean that you are never going to fuffill your dreams. It just means that you need improvement. Even the best actresses and writers were told at one point that they weren't going to make it. Then later on they became a hit and to this day are famous.
So whatever you love go for it. Just because one person doesen't think that you are good doesen't mean that your a failure. Keep working at what you love to do. The more you work at it the better you will become. Just when you least expect it, your dreams will finally come true. So keep believing and working.

Until next time,

Paige
