Judgmental. Stuck up. Hateful. Narcissistic. Is that what people perceive when it comes to my identity? These are some of the mis-judgments, opinions, and viewpoints others compile before getting to know me, which is certainly untrue. How can one possibly even have a clue of who someone is, without even getting to meet them first? There is so much more to myself than what I may look like on the outside to people.

I was extremely disappointed in myself since, failing was new to me. It had never dawned on me that I could fail a test. However, my parents and their optimism in my abilities has enabled me to realize that there is always a failure before before succeeding. My parents encouraged me to try harder the next time around, instead of doubting myself since I had failed the first time. My family is my number one supporter when it comes to anything, from doing educational activities to having the courage to try something new out. This year, I am considering trying out for diamond dolls, and I know my family will be on those stands cheering me on. My family to me are the best people in life I could have asked for. What better kind of people to have in your life, besides your own family who loves you unconditionally?
Overall, my self identity, journeys, and family play a ginormous part in my life. Life has shown me it is acceptable to be different, and my journeys have shown me a new perspective of life. These minor, yet
