I now realize 

Who am I? I am someone who knows what they want, 

someone who doesn’t let other people stop me. Determined.

Someone who enjoys being by myself, someone who doesn’t rely on others for everything.  

Someone who cares for the people around me.

I appreciate the people who are in my life, the people that have always been there for me, people I can rely on. 

I appreciate the things that my family has done for me to help me become successful, even though I may not have liked what they were doing,

 I now realize what the goal was.

I appreciate the friends that I have made and the friends that have stayed with me for many years.  

The people that i have been around my whole life have influenced me, 

Influenced me into becoming the person that I am.
