The beginning of freshmen year was the hardest and lowest time in my life. Every day when I came home I went to my bedroom and stayed there for the rest of the night. I would lay in my bed and think, which is never a good thing for me. I tend to over think things. I would think about all the things that went wrong in life. How I felt alone, or how I didn’t have the amount of money I wanted, or even how I thought I wasn’t good enough. I was depressed. All because I didn’t like who I was.
I was worrying about stupid things like what other thought of me. If I forgot to do my homework I would be stressed and worry the entire day. Half the time I was worrying about things I couldn’t even control. Why stress about something that can’t be changed, just realize the consequences and move on. It didn’t stop until someone I have always looked up to, my teacher Ticia Dillon gave me some words of advice. She told me I had to stop worrying about what other people thought, live to please myself and no one else and to stop worrying about things I couldn’t control. These simple words changed my life.
Now I chose to be happy and live without worry and fear. Yes, I still might have a bad day, but that’s all that it should be, a day, nothing longer. I would rather be happy anyday. I choose to be happy. I believe in happiness.
