In the article titled Aid to Success, written by MaClay Patten, talks about dealing with the pains of life. Her writing left me feeling a little inspired. I agree because to get through the pains of life you have to deal with it. I can relate because I have had many painful experiences throughout my life. Yes I understand waht she is saying in the article. No I'm not surprised by what is in the article or what she says. I have seen much of this in my own life even in some of my friends and family's life. This article is wrriten very weel and all the arguements are very strong, valid, and informative. I am not left confused by anything she wrote, said, listed, or expressed.
