Congratulations! You have found your voice. You found the confidence to leave a negative situation. It can only get better from here! This is the time to be your best self.

After coming out of such a negative situation mine being bullying, I knew I never wanted anyone to go through what I did. I knew I wanted to give a voice to the voiceless. That is why I am sitting

here typing up my story, just so I can help you. In order to make the best out of something negative, you must find your passion. Something you love to do. A passion is something you genuinely care about. Find your hobbies. Find what makes you happy, to wake up and begin your day. For me, writing is a hobby I turned into a passion. I knew that I was destined to be a writer…

Bake a cake of positivity. CHEESY I KNOW. But seriously find how baking will put the icing on the cake for someone else. Maybe you can bake for fundraisers, you can volunteer to bake for the homeless. If sports are your thing find out how you can volunteer to teach sports to people with disabilities. If you like art, find how you can get involved with outreach programs who use art as a creative outlet to help those who are

struggling. Thriving is all about finding something you like to do and making a positive impact on others. It won’t be easel but it will be worth it. Paint your blank canvas with a dream, or a vision something you aspire to be. *NO MORE PUNS MADELEINE* It only takes one person to make a difference. Why not you?

Finding your passions can be difficult. At the time of the bullying I was going through, I spent a lot of time volunteering with the special education students. I only started to have a place to eat my lunch and a place to feel safe. I ended up making some of the best friends and I genuinely care about every single one of the kids I bonded with. They benefited me so much more than I thought they would. I realized I truly do enjoy working with kids. Not only was I able to eat my lunch in a safe place, I

Even if that person is your BFF. Newsflash, best friends aren’t supposed to treat each other like crap. They are supposed to be the people who build you up and make you feel good. If they aren’t doing that, find new friends. I thought the friendship was going to last forever. Two years with someone feels like forever. Things change though, people grow apart and you realize your worth.
You understand that you NEED to surround yourself with good, uplifting, and positive people.

Losing that friendship was very hard on me. This was the girl I considered my best friend. We spent a lot of time together. She was who I shared my secrets with. Who I had sleepovers with every weekend. Moving on and finding new friends is hard, but it is so worth it. I kept this person around a lot longer than I should have, kind of like an old pilled sweater. It’s comfortable but even though I outgrew

I still had some desire to keep it around. Sure, I could have used my sweater shaver but it had holes beyond belief and stains that no amount of bleach and stain stick could get out. It was just more work for me.

In order to find new friends, you have to put yourself out there in order to let go and make new friends. It’s scary, I know. It’s terrifying to start over. But we all have to start somewhere. Join

    We all have a small voice in our head that talks to us as we go about our day. It may ask us, “what’s for dinner?” in the middle of class, keep us awake at night, and tells us when we’re feeling happy or sad.

    I suffered through a period which left me lacking motivation and purpose in life. Friends and family told me a great deal of things I should do, but none of it appealed to me. Though I want to help people, I didn’t want to be a doctor; though history appeals to me, I didn’t think I would enjoy history in academia. Following a great deal of reflection and deliberation, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Among the lessons learned during my enlistment were intricacies of the professional responsibilities of a basic “boots on the ground” infantryman, a team leader of three other Marines, and subsequently a squad leader of twelve Marines.…

    Throughout my life, I have had a variety of hobbies; I would become deeply invested in a hobby for a few months, but suddenly I would become uninterested. When I was younger, I danced; ballet and tap practices would fill my nights, but that did not last for long. Ultimately, I knew that driving there every night strained our schedules and I did not have passion for it anymore, so I discarded that hobby. After that, I became interested in sports; I devoted my time to basketball camps and pick-up games. Although I enjoyed basketball, I never played for the school and I stopped playing altogether by the time high school started.…
