2019 is starting to roll out and while 2018 was a good year, I missed a lot of opportunities whether it may be academic or social. Stress, anxiety and denial often kept me from making decisions, but I will not let these adversaries hold me down this year. This year I will be ambitious in pursuing chances that can help improve my well being and academic success. This means that I will try to be more accepting of others and not take others granted. I will also take my chances to join clubs or after-school activities that can help me in the future. This also means that now that I am 16, I will try to get my driver's permit and get a job so I don't have to rely on others as much. I firmly believe that if I take more chances at opportunities, I can open up many different paths ahead and pursue happiness.
