The world can be full of surprises. Throughout my experiences being part of life, I noticed when I was growing up that people are doing their best to become better people when they are younger. I wanted to improve my mentality and focus on what I want to become in the future. I acknowledged that people faced obstacles to find their true potential and how they can share wisdom towards the younger generation about what life can bring. I took advantage of that and used it to find what I want to pursue during my studies. When I was younger, I was told that life can be full of negative outcomes and the more negative people get, the harder life can be. I’m on a mission to find what I am most capable of doing when I finish school and college. Fortunately, we have people that want us to keep pushing forward and become a resilient person so that we can overcome difficult obstacles. Health can play a role in our choices since we always try to maintain good health as well as possible. Life can bring us negative experiences since we often suffer through everyday problems. As for me, I am determined to learn and communicate with different people since they are also learning and understanding their own paths too. Of course we have similar issues, but we can communicate with each other and how we can improve those issues. I have been strong about sharing negative experiences and how I can help them grow from my experiences. Show them how responsible I am with the consistency of a good personality and how I manage my tasks to help me grow. I am cautious about what the outcomes of not being consistent with my occupations are, like being a student and having responsibilities to help us grow to become a better person. I want to understand that people often change when we get older and we have different paths of how we want to love our lives. It makes me sad when people have to leave us and follow their own paths in life so they can improve themselves. At least we were part of their lives and helped each other when we had an opportunity to be there for their growth. Since I was in middle school and high school, I wanted to improve my mentality since I was a person who easily gets frustrated over small issues since I have been trying my best and not getting sufficient feedback from my teachers. I was sad that I tried to improve, but at least I was still determined to keep pushing forward. I didn’t want to be a person who gives up and always be depressed like other people might be on that path. It’s unfortunate that people suffer everyday and not think about their current self. I have been considerate to people who suffer everyday and motivate them to do their best. Of course I wanted to do my best for them too. I was able to maintain a decent mood throughout my days of being overwhelmed since I acknowledged that other people have worked hard and unfortunately we have to continue pushing forward even if it’s really hard. At least we have people who are with us. I wanted to share these thoughts as an act of being selfless as being a submissive person. With all the highs and lows, I managed to become the person I am today. I do understand that many people are not as considerate as other people since they may live in harder life conditions where determination can be almost impossible and the lack of resources can bring negative physical and mental health, which is sad. I feel their pain. Although I am usually someone quiet. At least I know the outcomes of life and how other people may feel different than others. I have seen a lot of problems around the world and I believe that it affected many people with their experiences that they are aware of these problems. These can lead to growth and also sadly trauma. I did feel that before and learning new things can be stressful and interesting. At least I am part of those people who are making some progress into success and the amount of pressure that I have been through was worth it. I still want to grow throughout the tough times, at least smile and move on like time flies.
