EE1. Who Even Are You?

Senior year made me find who I really was. It made me learn more about myself as an individual. It also made me learn who I really wanted to be and what I wanted to do in life. I felt like I became more individual this year than I have in my past three years in high school. This year also made me realize who my real friends too. This year made me find who I really was because of what my future plans are and by other people that walked into my life this year. My parents helped me make my future decisions for me. While other people are going away for school and dorming with their friends, I’m going to an only commute school and still living at home. I feel like that’s an individual act.  There is also one person that walked into my life not too long about, about a year ago, that has helped me throughout the struggles of my senior year, and who has really brought my personality out of me. He is my boyfriend. I know this may sound stupid like what every other girlfriend says about their boyfriend but that is not my intention, because he really has helped me and taught me to do things on my own more and to make my own decisions. I tend to always make decisions based off of other people’s actions and I would always have to do things with other people. Every time I get into a tough decision with school or caught up in school stress he just tells me to relax and think about yourself and stop worrying about what others want you to do. My problem that I have is that I always try to make others happy while I try to make myself happy at the same time and that just doesn’t work out to well. I also tend to do more things on my own because  of friends. I had certain friends this year that really just left my side half way through the year because either of how I went my direction in life or because of their path they decided to take.
