My New Start in Life

I've been through a lot and I've done somethings that I know deep in my heart weren't right and I said some things that weren't right and I know I can't take any of them back. I prey to God that he can forgive me for what I've done and said that have hurt people. Over the past few years in my life I've been so negative and hard on myself for so long I isolated myself and I lashed out and cursed at people and because of that I wound up alone and by myself. I'll be starting college next year at Akron University, on campus, and it was time for me to make a change and believe in myself and believe in God. He has blessed me with so much and over the years I've shown no appreciation whatsoever and I no I need to change! So many times I have come close to death but, God has given me another chance and I'm so thankful for that. He has sent me those signs and has been giving me these chances telling me that I need to repent and follow his footsteps and do what he tells me to do or I will suffer the consequences. Thank you Lord and please guide me through the rest of my life.
