Me Myself and I Essay

People have always told me that the hardest words to say are the most important words. Do I want to sit here and pour out my heart and admit all of my flaws from the past couple years?

My too-recent memories of him only brought tears to my eyes, and I worried that this would depress my family further.

made from the person I was when I started high school three years ago. At 13 years old, I had a “rinse and repeat” lifestyle; my life revolved around my friends, the gym, and video games.

All my friends messed around, so I thought, “Why can’t I? Why do I have to be the one who is responsible?” Once I saw my…

If I could go back to the past and talk to myself in September 2013, I would tell my younger self to be prepared for the next four years. I would advise myself to plan out my work and actually do assignments ahead of time instead of putting them off until nine o'clock the night before they were due. I would tell myself to not take honors trig because it was too much to handle combined with all of my other classes, as well as saying, that just because it was recommended to take a class, it…

Unfortunately, you have to stay one more week.” The struggle manifested itself as pain in my leg and vacuums puncturing my skin.

everyday struggles. I, like everyone else, have the same ways. My personal resilience is built up by my emotional, spiritual, psychological, and cultural roots. Emotionally, I cry. Although it may seem weak to cry by some people, crying prevents me from being bottled up and exploding at any moment. It helps me release everything from my system and recover faster.
