“Stop thinking about what everyone wants .stop thinking about what I want .stop thinking about what your parents want. What do you want?” – The notebook
Growing up I have acquired many things. I have been told what’s the right things to major in and what the kind of music I should like, I’ve been told not to dream so big because “you’re just getting your hopes high “I have been given a blueprint to how my life should be lived .a lot of times I feel that in order for a person to know who they are they have to be able to live there life for themselves to know who they are and what they want. If not you grow up confused and constructed and you end up living someone else dream. This has become one of the hardest life lessons that I have had to learn which was how to live to make things happen for yourself and to make yourself happy. This is why I’ve chosen this quote it relates to me in every way.
Being able to grow up and know who you are in life is very important .growing up I realized that I lost who I was at times id want to be one thing and within that Same year my perspective about myself would change .a lot of people might beg to differ in saying that its good to not know who you are because it forces you to find out who you were meant to be. However for me not knowing who I was became an excuse for me I slacked off a lot and didn't pay attention to a lot of opportunity’s because I was always unsure of if It was "right" for me .
People would always ask me growing up what is it that you want to be when you grow up and at the age of five every girl wanted to be a princess or mermaid and that was ok because we were young and didn't know of the many options we would grow to have. However I wanted to be a teacher
