I’d like to share a short story about myself. I’d like to do this, to show people that life will always throw curveballs but what truly matters is you fight through it! Things will get better sooner or later. For the children out there that don’t think they aren’t worth it, because of bullies or family issues, you ARE worth it! Every life matters, and it might not seem like it but you are destined for something great! I have had a rough life and have thought multiple times that it would never…

Everybody at one point in their life knows what it 's like to feel anxious. When you are on a first date and you get butterflies in your stomach, or when you’re nervous when your boss yells at you and you don 't want to get in trouble.

Anxiety will even make you study for a test harder or to get a paper done on time, but…

fear of being alone, mentally not physically-can terrify me, triggering panic attacks. A panic attack is when it becomes next to impossible to breath, it feels like someone is sitting on the person 's chest, when in reality it is fear sending their heart into overdrive, accelerating one’s breathing, which also makes it harder to focus. That is why it is always very important to try and get a person having a panic attack to focus on another person 's breathing…

Every day starts a new goal for college whether it is a grade, a relationship, or homework. Some college students are very smart and get good grades.

It is also disrespectful to your instructor.…

You know that feeling you get when you are terrified out of your mind? You know, the sweaty palms, like an elephant is sitting upon your chest, your eyes as big as golf balls, your brain saying, what are you thinking?! That exact feeling of fear is what I used to have until I learned a lesson I will remember for a lifetime. Fear can stand for one of two things; Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. We flashback to the summer of 2011. My family and I decided to begin our first of…

The Truth in the Abyss When writing they say it is always best to tell the truth. I do not know who “they” are, but “they” seem to be vaguely arrogant, entirely omnipotent and the enforcers of way too many rules. That being said, the truth does not exist. Each person’s perspective of a situation is in and of itself a unique truth. My truth of that night is different than my mother’s. I will get to those truths, but first here is the beginning.

It wasn 't that I didn 't give it my all or anything, it 's just that I didn 't excel. All my friends had that thing…
