Finding Myself
Being an adult, I look back into my teenager years and fresh years of being a young adult unto now. I have always viewed life deeper than most that are my age. I wouldn’t when I was younger I was confused, but I always did what my friends thought was cool to do. But when it came to my thinking and my emotions, I loved deeper and had a great deal of compassion for people. I knew and was taught since God loved people in spite of the bad things that we do. I did too. I would look pass what they might say, act or think about life. I had a sense that it is more to life then we try to take grips on. Maybe it was because I grew up in church and I was always exposed the Gospel and wanted to know so much more about this supernatural power of healing and deliverance from evil. You could even say I some teenagers (females especially) just mature faster in some areas then my peers. But see this was not the case, I remember a time in which I was in high school and hanging with me and my girlfriends at the movies or wherever it was we hang out on the weekends. Some and not everything they tried to have theory. I would always think about what the Holy Bible said that particular thing and relate how situations how in my life were similar so I could overcome them.
On the summer of 2007 a year after graduating from high school, I had so many things I wanted do, good paying jobs where I could work, places to travel by visiting different states. This summer was about hanging out and working before I would start to classes at college. I was excited to have a job where I wanted to work and make my own money, meeting new people different high school. This was the time in which I was learning how to become a young adult, the foundation in which a young adult learns to be responsible, take accountability for your actions. Granted I was still young and did not know anything, but was being taught how to take care of myself as a young lady future woman. At this time of my life, I soon

Most teenagers would have given up here as the disappointment from both their parents and teachers would have destroyed their hopes for a successful future. However, this anguish became a catalyst for what would become a significant restructuring in both my demeanor towards schoolwork and my perspective on the future.

    Wondering what is going to happen with my life at this point. For a few years now I have been involved with the wrong crowds and keep getting in trouble for different crimes.

Around the same time I was going through a rebellious teen phase at home with my mom and that proved too stressful all together. I slacked even more and, failed a class one semester. I would go to class and did just enough to get by without caring for the consequences. Well it all hit me at once my 4th year. I was already behind on credits and had to seriously think about my future. I looked at the summary of the past few years and I became extremely disappointed in myself for wasting so much time and not taking my education serious. I told myself that this is not how I wanted to live my life anymore. I took a step back during the summer vacation to reevaluate my actions and my life and try to change my priorities to get back on track. After doing a lot of thinking I changed a lot. I decided that I wanted to go back to school and get a restart on my grades and my college education but in a different major. As a consequence I would be in school for much longer but if in the end I would study what makes me happy and I would be more content…

    We all can't wait to grow up when we're young. The world is filled with all this possibility and wonder.

Being an adult seemed awesome and I wanted to skip over the kid stage and get to my life, start living and taking care of myself. I thought I knew it all and I was ready to prove it.

    Life is full of risks. And not all risks are predictable. The first and the biggest crisis in my life happened a few days after the fifteenth birthday. I was diagnosed with a kind of cancer and took a year off from middle school to have chemotherapy after surgery.

    First and foremost, I apologize for the tardy response. I’m swamped in work and have little to no time for myself these days. Right now, I’m about to finish a few chapters on Differential Equations and probably Dynamics, if time allows. The entire spring break I labored doing mostly course work, spending sleepless nights trying to catch up on topics that I didn’t quite fully understand. Things got even worst upon returning back to campus a week after, a departmental advisor related to me that recent graduates are complaining about how difficult it is for them to find a job. Upon hearing my deepest fear, I started to feel a bit uneasy over the entire situation, it felt as if my little world that I was trying to create was slowly falling apart.…

    During the first half of my high school career, I was blindsided by a handful of life-altering events. As a freshman, I began struggling with severe anxiety, which has persisted ever since its conception; however, I have been working arduously to overcome this issue and have become significantly better at handling my anxiety and panic attacks. The summer before my sophomore year my mother remarried and moved me and my family from Atlanta to a small town in Northwest Georgia. This move was incredibly hard on me: I was unaccustomed to small town life and did not know anyone my age; I was a new student with no friends and found that cultivating friendships in a small town was a daunting task. I was overwhelmed by having to start fresh in the middle…
