Personal statement
Through my years In high school I had come to learn many different things about myself and about other people like how we all have our problems and how we deal with them. When I first started highs school I was excited and scared. I was scared because My family had move away from our last home and had to stay with one of our family members at the time cause we had lost are home I was so young at the time that I didn't understand what was happening and all the pain my mother went through to help me and my sister. I lived In a family of three me my mom and my sister we constantly kept moving to different places In total we move to about five different houses . Some of the problems I experienced are my medical condition and with me not likening to talk about my problems. When I started high school I meant a lot of different people who seemed like their fine but hide there problems to make them seem okay and to not bother people.One thing that I had learned about my self Is that Its okay to ask for help and that people care and to talk to people about your problems weather Its family teacher or your friends cause they will help you.I had some of the best moments of my life In high school and they are only going forward. I feel like I can better my self and get rid of my weakness and try to get my self to be more out going and helpful to other people about their problems.I know that any body can achieve their goals If they believe and you try hard enough because all you have to do Is try.My goals In life are to become an artist and become go a playing the guitar I also what to make enough money so that I can give back to my mom for all she done for me and my sister.The problems that I will face In the future are to get the right job I want and the steps It will take me to get there.Some of the reasons I was excited for high school was to meet new people and at the time foshay was still a new school to me cause I didn't go to the elementary. It was hard for me to make friends at first since I was not much of a talkative person back then and how I only trust a small group of people and being around large crowds make me uncomfortable but I liked how being In this school got me to get out of my shell and have fun with people weather It was getting In trouble or not overall just having a good time.For when I think about all the problems and troubles that I went through It help be become a better person and If I didn't go through all of theses events I would have turn out really different and It would have affected my future.So I am grateful for being a to go to this school and have this wonderful experiences and I really would not change anything about It If I could.If I had any advises that I could give that would help any one who are struggling weather at school or at home It would be to not stress over theses problems cause everyone of them will go away and just to have a good time In your high school years and to stay focus. That people the friends and the teachers that I met here really gave me the courage that I need to Improve myself for the better even If I was struggling or wasn't having a good day they would always be their and that I know I can count on them If anything goes wrong.
