in the last 5 minutes of your life...'

'in the last 5 minutes of your life, what would you like to say or do?'

this questions, was part of an assignment in my health class this morning. while i was finishing my 1st sentence, the teacher turned off the lights and said, "your time is up". my first reaction was "that wasn't 5 minutes!", with so much i still wanted to write, i realized the concept about this assignment; we cant wait for the last 5 minuted of our life to say and do what we want to do now. ironic!, because my second sentence was going to be 'to say all i wanted to say when i wanted to say it'. all my life, Ive thought more about others before me. i analyzed the situation to not say anything that would hurt others, but i keep my words inside. do we really need our "last 5 minutes" to do what we have been wanting to do?
when my teacher cut off the time, i was upset and angry in a way, because i wanted to keep writing, and it made so much sense, because our time is limited. we tend to believe we have the time to do it 'later', but in reality, we cant depend on the time, instead we have to take initiative to it when its necessary.

time is precious, its the only thing that once we have it in our hand, it keeps moving on, not returning any lost time. this assignment had a great impact on me, because Ive been giving another opportunity to live by god . Ive came into conclusion that i need to do all the things i need to, never leaving what i can do today for tomorrow, and to live the next minute as if it was my last.

my first sentence was, to get on my knees and thank god for the life and family he gave me. and that even though i made mistakes, and my life was a bumpy road, i became the person i am now, thanks to him, ive made it this far<3
