Who your best self is?- Week 3

In life, I have experienced many ups and downs. Those are the moments that have helped me in discovering who my best self is. When I think about being my best self, I think about the times that was most challenging to me because that was when I had no other choice but to bring the best out of me. My best self is strong, responsible, and ambitious.

With life comes daily problems. In our lives we have trials and tribulations. Trials and tribulations come with a purpose and a reward. It seems like everyday I am faced with a problem or situation but it’s those times when I have to be strong. About 10 months ago, I lost a very dear and close friend. I felt like a piece of me was missing for a long time. I cried almost everyday for months but I knew that God makes no mistakes. It was rough for a long time dealing with her death but I knew I had to let go and just be strong and know that the hard times that come my way are just a way to test my strength.

I have learned that you must take accountability for your own self. Being responsible is a moral principle that not only I learned but I was taught. I was raised in a household where we all had responsibilities. I am truly glad that my mother gave me responsibilities at an early age because it has helped me in becoming the responsible young lady that I am today. Within my church, I am often called upon to do certain things. When individuals know that they can trust you and that you are responsible they will make you their first contact. In my classes, I try to make sure that all o my work is turned in on time and that my grades are nothing but the best because I know that I am responsible for turning my work in on time and making sure that my grades are where they should be. I am very reliable and take accountability for my own actions. As a young adult, I have came to the conclusion that I am responsible for myself.

Everyday I encourage myself to set goals and achieve them. I have many  goals and expectations for my life. I have my short-term goals and my long-term goals. My goals can range from getting homework done for the week to obtaining me a job working for the government. I am very determined to succeed in everything that I do. My mom always encourages me to be the best in all that I do. I never settle for less and my best is what I always give.

I have found my self to be a strong, responsible, and ambitious young lady. I have came to the conclusion that I am stronger than what I thought I was. I am also more responsible and have the desire and determination to be successful in life and in all that I do. The only person that knows who is your best self is you. After all, nobody knows you better than you.
