I am a person who believes in persistence. I listen to my head and heart, who both tell me to keep going and never give up. Take video games for example. Sure, it’s not the biggest thing in life, but I have learned a lot from video games to never give up, even though rage quitting can be so easy. If I get second place in a game of Fortnite, I keep playing until I get a win (unless my mom tells me to get off screens). If I’m playing geometry dash and I get 99% on a hard demon after over 1000 attempts, I think to myself, “yes you got 99%, yes it’s annoying, but don’t be sad, because now your 100% positive you can beat the level.” I am not a quitter, and I never will be.

       I hope one day the world will understand more things than they do now. Suicide, pollution, global warming, all of the important things are being left aside while the small things are the only things getting taken care of. I want a world where everyone pitches in. I want a world where there are less suicides, I want a world where someone littering is rare, and most of all, I want a world where people care about their home.

       When I am down and sad about something, I try to think that everything’s going to be okay. I definitely have to say this to myself especially when my school grades aren’t going well, or when I have procrastinated all night and I have a math test tomorrow. I try to handle stress well, but it doesn’t always work. I have always been a person who doesn’t work well under pressure, but the key is if you work harder and better than you ever have before, most of the pressure will fade away and you will eventually have everything under control.

       I eat to live, I don’t live to eat. I take that back, sometimes I live to eat. But most people don’t take these things they have for granted. Every time I eat a super nice meal, i think to myself, “about 80% of the people in this world, maybe even more, don’t have the opportunity to do a lot of the things I do on a daily basis. So unless I’m eating Pringle’s, I try to savor every bite of food and enjoy the food as much as I can.

       I definitely overthink a lot of subjects, my curious mind always flooded with these crazy questions that usually have a much simpler answer than I expected. But asking all of these question and expressing all of these thoughts can possibly change multiple peoples perspective on things, which can maybe help others.
