My hatred to smoke was raised to that level that whenever I see any person smoking, I felt like I should scold that guy and throw away his cigarette. The only one things that goes on my nerves was the people (mainly the students of my age) smoking. Once I was in a Café to have some breakfast. I ordered sandwich and I was waiting for my order. Suddenly, my nose started to ache, and some kind of irritation came inside me because I smelt that pungent and life-taking smell of cigarette. That awful smell goes inside me and made me mad. I was too angry with that smell and tried to find who is smoking that shits. I turned back and saw some school’s students junior than me smoking cigarette. Without saying a single word, I went to them and threw away their cigarette. They were shocked and one of them started to fight with me. Actually I was not angry with those guys but I was angry with the smoke I smelt and was slang, and even cursing to it. So I was making my voice loud, I was scolding them and try to make them convince by saying the bad impact of that life-taking smoke. That issue grew up and the owner of café came and the dispute between us was anyhow settled.

This popular quotation is mentioned in every packet of cigarette which I completely understood nowadays. Finally, I cannot

    Two years ago I was a completely different person. That may sound like a complete exaggeration, but looking back on the person who carried my name two years ago, it is shockingly true. Two years ago, I was the quiet, overweight, anxious girl who avoided social interaction as if it was the plague. Needless to say, I was not the most confident or outgoing person out there. I let my anxiety disorder rule my life, and let my weight be an excuse as to why I couldn’t do certain things.…

    The Lesson in Quitting For the past 7 years of my life, swimming has played a huge role. Growing up, I had always enjoyed being in the water, and was one of the odd kids that genuinely enjoyed swimming lessons, no bribes required (thinking about it, I wish I had some of those kids in the lessons I teach now). Overtime, it began to feel less like a passion and more like an obligation; something I had committed to that was too late to stop. I was afraid to quit, afraid to disappoint, and trying to be dedicated to a sport I had lost interest in made me start to hate it. This year, I finally decided to drop the sport, and am now embracing the huge change it has had in my life.…

    When I’m asked about things that have changed who I am, I immediately think of my friends, and ex friends. Every day, people come and go in our lives and less often, these people are friends. For me, friends are hard to make (and to keep) and I easily lose contact with them. I have few friends who I know are true to me, they have been by my side for years and I know they won’t be leaving anytime soon.…

    I will always remember when my life started to turn around. I continued to make simple changes to my everyday life to help myself get better and better so that I could reach my goals. Without perseverance and the motivation I received from the people that were close to me, I would have never been able to make it to where I am today. All the procrastination I had when I was younger was leading me in the opposite direction then where I wanted to go. Now I’m doing what I love, which is directing and producing movies.…
