My teachers throughout the years have taught me to balance my life. They encouraged me to do the best I could and that it would one day lead to a career that would hopefully stabilize my life and income. I learned that a career, that would only come through education, would be able to give me the security I needed in life. It would able to offer my a peace of mind.

My parents have consistently encouraged my education and that I pursue it to a career. They knew that it would help me in the long run and made sure to implement a positive way of thinking about school. School would be my way into the world. They taught me that school would allow future expensive and a limitless amount of possibilities.

My mother always expected me and my sister to be kind to everyone, no matter the situation. She knew that kindness could go a long way, which I did not understand at the time. Now that I am older, I realize how important kindness is and how it can improve anyone's mood. And now with the understanding that the world can be a wicked place, we need all the kindness we can get.

Anger can sometimes get the best of people, but over the years I have learned, from my sister, that it's not worth the trouble and negativity. The only way to be happy is to accept things I have no control over and not get frustrated when things don't always work out the way I wanted them to. Negativity and anger can be consuming and it is no way for a person to live. Anger is not worth the repercussions that can last forever.

I was always taught to live in the now and not take anything for granted. My Aunt encouraged us to have fun and not dwell on the past. She is the reason I am so grateful for the life I have because her own had ended too soon. It is from her that I realize life could end at any moment and to not let it pass me by.
