I believe that mental health should be talked about more. For me personally, I deal with anxiety and tbh i dont think its talked about enough. Anxiety has caused me to think differently, handle things differently, etc. Once I realized how anxiety has changed my life, I thought about the awareness of someones mental health

I believe that everyone should be shown the same level of respect. My belief in this came from the mental mindset I was given by various teams and other things I have associated myself with. This affects me because if I show respect to others and they show respect to me we can form a level of understanding and work well with each other. This made me think in life that everyone is equal. Everyone has one thing they are good at and everyone is human.

My belief is that you have to work hard in life. This belief came from the lesson my great grandparents instilled in my grandparents that spread through the next generations. To work hard, means that you try your best and always try to reach for #1. This changed my life by creating a mindset that never lets me back down and give my 100% in any situation. I always try to achieve my goals and this leads me to giving my all in life. This changed a lot of what I thought about life. It changed that you only have one life and you have to try your best to make it the best it can be. You can go from having nothing, to working your butt off, and becoming successful.

I believe that people are born at least a little good. From birth humans want to bond together, they want to understand why someone is upset. People want to love one another, they want to be in a group, and they don't want to get kicked out. Therefore, "bad" were withheld the love they needed when their life was started. This leads me to try to understand people, not necessarily saying that everyone is good, but understanding where they come from.

One belief that is really important to me is in equality. I think it is so important that we realize and acknowledge that every single person in this world is human and deserves to be treated this way. My mom really emphasized feminism when I was growing up, and as I got older I took this belief and expanded it to everything else I believe in, such as rights for my disabled older brother, that love is love, that black lives matter, and so many other things. These beliefs definitely influence my actions, and in positive ways.

I believe that everyone deserves representation in fiction and narratives in general (including the narratives we tell about history)

i believe that authenticity is crucial to a happy life. authenticity creates the most clear image of oneself. my belief comes from my life of being told that i am different or "weird". ive come to love the "weird" and have embraced it in my daily life. i feel like my mindset towards life is far less rigid and i tend to just do what feels right or what i know will be right in the future no matter what other people tend to think about me or my decisions

I believe that the right to repair should be a law. This belief comes from companies restricting independent companies and repair shops from repairing and upgrading their products because they want customers to come to them for repair. They restrict their suppliers of parts from selling to anyone else and effectively can charge whatever they want to repair the smallest issue.

My belief is that people are good. This comes from the times that I do community service. I see people from all walks of life coming together to help others. It means that no matter who you are you have the power to make a difference, and that “good” or “evil” we can all find common ground upon helping out. This makes me a better person and everyone else better too.  I think that we are truly good.

I believe that tutoring can be one of the best forms of teaching simply because it is mainly one-on-one learning. That type of learning helps you focus a lot more on the subject and helps you get a much better understanding on the thing you are learning since there are no distractions around you while you're being tutored

Expression of Self - I believe Christmas music being played before Thanksgiving. I really enjoy listening to it and think there is no reason we should mute it simply because a certain date hasn't yet passed. If I want to express myself through a genre of music, why should someone else tell me not to.

My belief is that you have to be passionate about something. This means that everyone should have something that makes them excited and makes them want to make a change. This changes how I think about life because when I am older and getting a job I want to be passionate about what I am doing.

I hold the belief that every person's voice and vote matters. My parents instilled on me very young that as a citizen of the US, my voice would someday influence how we lived our lives and who was in power. This belief has held me to be more compassionate and courageous towards others and myself.
