The dam in the river


When you come across a river during the spring time there is a lot of dirt, logs and other nastiness in the river. But what surprises me when I see this is when one log, instead going with the easier path and going straight, it turns sideways against the flow and ends up damming the river. The effect it has is quite amazing. It catches all the dirt and other filth and allows the river to become clean. Because of one log, the river is able to flow clean.

I have seen this effect in my own family. My parents are amazing people and the families they came from, who are all great people, had some tendencies that weren't the greatest. They were that one log in the river that went against the flow and created a purifying process, and made it clean for the rest of the family.



They have given my siblings and I the chance to grow in a good healthy environment and that is why I want children.
