WHO AM I ?

Who am I’ is an extremely important question that every individual must find an answer to. Furthermore, to find the answer, people must reflect and ponder on themselves and their surroundings. Most noteworthy, those who have the answer to this are able to live a life of happiness and contentment.

Each person on this planet has unique qualities that are shared with others. Knowing people is a way to broaden one's horizons, create new ideas and spread them. My life is full of meaningful relationships and memories. I am a person , a person who makes mistakes, laughs, cries, hurts, smiles and loves. I am who I am through my joys, sorrows, heartbreaks, happiness and my loses. Each step in my life and each moment that goes by make me up as an individual person. Every experience in my life good or bad, happy or sad makes me stronger. Each passing moment is a new life experience for me and makes me grow into the person I want to be. Day by day, hour-by-hour I take a new step in my life, a step towards another, into a world full of knowledge. Knowledge is all around me, waiting for me to learn new things and process new information that will teach me through life. I am a student throughout life, not just in the classroom.

I am a person who makes many mistakes, but have the courtesy to learn from them and not make them twice. I am a person who laughs so hard that I have tears running down my cheeks. I am a joker person who wants to give smile to the people surrounds me in every joke I asserted. Even though I love challenges, I hate losing the challenges. When I lose, I can be.

Life has a funny way of working out just when we start to believe it never will.” I’ve already experienced this feeling. The bad things that happen do get better; even if it takes time, I know it because I thought it wouldn’t but it did. My experience with bad times made me feel extremely bad, but I have people in my life that have given me their help to become a stronger person.  Life is HardI believe that in everyone’s life, there comes a point and time that life is hard and seems almost unbearable. All the great expectations people have for others and responsibilities a person is accountable for, makes it this way. At age 17, a junior in high school, I am able to say this, and have many examples to explain what makes it so difficult for me each and every day.It starts when I hit my teenage years and everything about me begins to transform. Dealing with all the humiliating stares and laughter of my changing appearance can be embarrassing, but it’s up to us to remain confident and happy with ourselves. Waking up for school and going to bed late, after homework, can be tiresome, but in the end we proudly earn our diploma. Besides schoolwork, some teens are subject to getting a job to pay for their cell phone bills and car insurance, this of course making there nights even longer! After high school, the break doesn’t begin either! All the pressure of finding a career and going to college comes about, making me  have to decide on what I want to pursue in life. For many teens, deciding on what we  want to do could take years! I know that I’m not sure what I want to do for the rest of my life!At the same time, keeping my family and friends happy can be difficult, because the available time I have to spend with them can be limited. But without further  due, we must make the time because without these people in our lives, a person can’t get the extra support they’ll need in having these rough days. One key element to keeping ourself stable and successful is to have an inspiring positive attitude and trying our hardest at everything we go about doing. Feeling good about ourself and avoiding put-downs will also make a difference in how well we handle the many intricate situations we've faced with each day.As we can see, it comes down to us that controls how hard our life will be. The more involvement we're in, the less time you’ll have, but at the same time, the more successful we can be. The harder we work at accomplishing something, the better we feel about it once we’ve completed. No one can ask for any more than what we have in giving our best. I believe that every day no matter how hard it seems, that sometime in the coming future it will all pay off and I’ll be proud.

 Dealing with fears isn’t easy. But as they say, what we resist, persists. So, instead of resisting our fears, choose to embrace them.Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? …And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” We've probably experienced it.That paralyzing state hindering us  from moving forward. Or that constant worry running over and over in our mind. Or that dis empowering sweating, shaking and having our body feel out of control. We all battle with fear. Fear of failing, looking like fools or not being loved for who we are. Fear of reliving something that has been or living something that might come. Fear of not being good enough, smart enough or courageous enough. No one no matter gender, age, skin color, social status, money on the bank or nationality gets a free pass when it comes to fear. What matters isn’t that we fear , but how we choose to deal with it. Fear can either show us our limitations or teach us about something that we need to overcome. How we perceive it is up to us.
