I don’t want to take an easier route even if it at times is at the expense of my personal and/or social life. With everyone telling me “No”, it inspires me to challenge myself more. Keeping this in mind, in my 4 years of high school I’ve certainly grown, changed, and learned more than I ever thought I would. Even though I feel inadequate, I have my quirks, talents, and experience that I know make me a unique individual. I can certainly say that with my 3 musical instruments and a truckload of side hobbies, that even if I’m not a complete rainbow, I’m not a gray-scale student either. Being thrown in all directions during my school years, I’ve learned that when faced with conflict, I need to trust myself and what I want. If I let others change my course of life and my lifetime goals, I’ll never be happy. I’ll never do what I want. In order to conquer my feelings of inadequacy and really know what I wanted in life, I needed to do a soul searching, which I’m sure is the purpose of high school. Regardless, I refuse to be a puppet being dragged along by someone else’s string; I want to learn and grow, so that's what I intend to
