Believing is Power
My parents have played a powerful role in my upbringing. They taught me right from wrong, how to be the person I am, and how to treat other people, but one of the most important lessons they taught me was how to believe in myself. As a child, I was always told I could be whatever I wanted to be when I was an adult. Mom and Dad would make sure I knew that if I wanted to be a police officer or a doctor, I could be a police officer or a doctor. All I would have to do is believe in myself.
The year of 2018 will be a challenging period of my life. Now that I am eighteen years old, I have a great amount of responsibility and many more difficult decisions about my future to make. This year I will be graduating high school and moving …show more content…

I will no longer be enrolled at Little Falls Community High School, but instead, I will be at a bigger school further away from my hometown, friends, and family. College will be a drastic change in my life and probably one of the most important decisions I will ever make. How am I, an eighteen-year-old, supposed to make a single decision that will change my life forever? How am I supposed to know that it is the right decision? I must trust myself and believe that whatever I put my mind to, I can achieve.
Throughout 2018, I will be faced with numerous challenges. Besides the little everyday issues, I will need to make significant decisions about my future and what I will do for the rest of my life. My final year of high school will be tough, but even when the road starts to get rough, I can always look back on the younger version of me, looking up to Mom and Dad, and listen to them saying again that I will be able to do anything I set my mind to, as long as I believe I
