Don’t Take Life For Granted

by Cheval John

Sometimes we forget how precious life really is.

We are used to interacting with our friends, family, etc., on a daily basis that we get to the point of taking it for granted.

We believe that we have all the time in the world to tell a person how important they are in our lives and forget that they can be taken in an instant.

When that happens, we wonder if we did everything for that person or said what was needed to be said and ending up beating ourselves in the process.

For example, Deanna Brionnes has been the secretary of the Mass Communication Department on the campus of Sam Houston State for quite some time.

On a daily basis, she has to deal with the logistics of the department, whether it is helping a student register for a class or getting the schedule made for a professor.

In addition to her work, she helped in the planning of the MCM department’s annual spring banquet and collaborate with those that are in charge of putting it together.

Because of her dedication, she has received recognition from professors and student organizations in the department.

For example, Raven Films, a student film organization, gave her a baby blanket as their way of saying thank you because she and her husband are expecting their first child.

So the next time you see that person who makes life so fun and interesting, let him or her know how important they are to you.

Because you never know if you will get that opportunity again.
