My mom is 52 and my dad is 57. I would think about at what age I should get married and what age should I have kids. I was obsessing over that. I thought about getting married early and having kids early because I wanted them to see their grandchildren before they "earned their wings and fly away". Continuously thinking about when to do what before they... Anyways, sophomore year came and I met my Biology teacher. She an awesome teacher. We got close with each other. Four days a week I would stay after with her to help her grade tests and quizzes. That was my happy place. Me helping her grade tests and quizzes made me happy. Then junior year came by and I found two more happy places in my life. One was my job, which was EMS and the other one was cooking. Cooking and EMS are my happy places today because cooking helps me not stress out about anything and not think about anything else besides cooking. EMS distracts me from thinking about the future because I would focus on helping people in need. I realized now not to think about the future and not to plan things in the present for the future to happen. Why? Because you will be obsessed about it and it is not good for your health. The motto
