Staying Positive

I believe in always staying positive and never giving up on anything you set your mind on. Even when you feel like the whole world’s against you and throwing their negativity at you.

My family really never paid much attention to me, and when they did pay attention they always had something negative to say to bring me down. My family would always tell me I would never graduate high school and I’d be nobody in life. At first I would brush it off, but slowly the negativity started slowly taking its toll. I started hanging out with people who did what they wanted whenever they wanted and I slowly became just like them. I started ditching school till I eventually just stopped attending school altogether. Instead of going to school I’d go hang out with my friends everyday and even stopped coming home. My friends who still went to school saw me around and would tell me I wouldn’t graduate if I continued this route.

Eventually the fun stopped being fun stuff was getting old I started thinking what I was going to do with my life. I started doing whatever I had to do to get myself together but by this point my family had lost hope and would tell me I couldn’t do it anymore because I had left school already and was way too behind in credits. But my mind was set I was determined to prove everyone wrong I would get back on track. I started by taking night school courses, online courses, and keeping up with my grades. I stayed positive even when times all I wanted to do is just give up and go back to my old ways. I never lost hope in myself even when everyone else did nothing but bring me down. I used people’s negativity as encouragement to prove everyone that they were wrong about me. Even though I made a mistake that backtracked me in life it wasn’t to late for me to make something of myself. I’ve recently caught up with all my credits and told by my counselor if I kept up with the good work I was going to graduate the year I originally was supposed to graduate.

I believe that even in staying positive and never giving up. In believe obstacles are always going to be thrown at you whether big or small. Their will always be negative people who will bring you down and doubt you. I believe in proving people wrong and what they say doesn’t define me as a person.
