Over the years I’ve had a very dynamic and wavering emotional range due to my experiences growing up. This all began when I first came to the United States. I was 6 at the time and I was just a young child trying to adapt to a new world. However, it soon became evidently clear that I would have to begin taking over the responsibilities of the household like an adult. This was the first part of my personality as I began to shift from a child to an adult. I’ve always had a negative and pessimistic view on the world due to numerous family struggles with money at home. It felt as if though at every point, no matter what we did, the world was always against us. However, at the darkest point in my family’s life, the world had decided to help us out and allowed us to pick ourselves back up. I started to become more happy and optimistic. Not only this, but I began to discover real happiness during my years in high school. I found people who I could call real friends that would always cheer me up and be there for me. I was in such a high point in my life during that time I never wanted to let it go. However, as we were nearing graduation date, I soon realized this would all be gone soon, I knew I would never find this sort of joy again in a new place with new people. I could not have been more wrong. Even though I’ve only been at UGA for less than half a month, I have already made friends that I know will be people that will bring even more joy to me in the years to come. Needless to say, this has now become the happiest I’ve been in many years.
