Something that I love about myself is the passion I have for wanting a better life for myself. I love the drive I have for myself. Being able to answer the question: "what do you want to be when you grow up." is something I can answer very confidently. Having goals and determination for myself is something that I enjoy going over. Having the ability to maintain above-average motivation on a day-to-day basis with the ability to say I did right for myself starting from a young age, is one of the proudest bragging rights I have for myself. Not many others can sit and write an essay about how passionate and school-driven they are about their future without actually being determined and wanting better for themselves. School may not have always been my favorite, nor have I ever been perfect at it. I have flaws that I can admit to although the reality is that no one is perfect. That being said, having determination and passion for what I want in the future, is one of the reasons why I genuinely love the way that my brain works whenever my future comes into the picture. I am very realistic about what I want and how I am going to accomplish success. Thank you for reading my short written essay about what I love about myself and explaining the reason as to why I do.

Mental health is important to me because first-hand experiencing of serious mental illness pushed me to want to help others learn more about their mental health. There's so much more to having good mental health than what we are told in our school system and from our parents. A lot of people don't realize how seriously people should be taking their mental health and maintaining it properly. My experience with mental health dug me down a deep and dark hole that made me unsure of how I would escape from it, it is not easy to just be okay the next day like how others claim it is. It is a long and struggling journey, having to get out of your comfort zone every single day, pushing against what your brain is telling you, having to ignore all of the intrusive thoughts that crowd your mind every single day. Mental health is not a simple subject and it is very complex when getting educated about it, that's why I am so invested in talking and learning more about it. If I am able to save someone's life just by educating them about the small changes they can make to their day-to-day routine could possibly move forward and change someone else's life.
