Being My Own Person..

Say you're in science class and today you have a big test. You didn't study at all for this test and you have no clue what's even on it. As you finish it and look over all of your answers, you feel like they're all wrong. You peek over to the person next to you, being as stealhty as possible. You change all of your answers to the same ones they have. The next day you get your test back only to find out you have a really low grade. You come to realize that all of yours answers were right before you changed them. How does that make you feel? I believe that you can't depend on anyone else, you can only depend on yourself. If you think about it, you were born alone and you die alone. You really don't need anybody but yourself. People come to realize that you depend on other people everyday. My dad used to always say, "if you want to grow up and be somebody, it's up to you and only you to become that somebody. No one can really help you be that somebody but yourself; it's your job to become what you believe." Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to prevent or convince you from having friends. I'm just sharing what I feel is best, in my own opinion.

This one time I was in a little predicament with my friend Dan. We both thought it would be a good idea to sneak out and go to my neighbor Sean's house. We got out of the house easily but coming back was difficult. My mom is a very light sleeper and she heard the garage door close. She made her way downstairs only to smell smoke on our cloths. We didn't do anything related to that, we were by a campfire which is how the smell got on our cloths. As we were talking to our parents, we kind of stretched the truth a little bit and told two different stories. I was depending on Dan to bail me out but instead I was in even more trouble. I relied way too much on Dan to get me out of it, when I was putting myself into even bigger trouble. When I grow up, I want to be a computer engineer and technician. The only person that can really help me become that is myself. I have to do the studying, take the test, learn, read, write, experiment, etc. I can't have somebody else doing this for me otherwise I'm getting nowhere. When I get out of high school, I want to go to a nice college, get a nice house afterward, and live on my own for a little while. Being independent is the best way to go. You don't have to deal with drama, conflict with other people, getting into trouble with friends, trashing your house and cleaning up after your room mate, etc. In science class, I looked over at my friend Sam's paper. I took down her answers thinking that they would all be right. I got my test back the next day with a 58. Never again will I cheat off of anyone. If I want to interact with computers and technology, I can't cheat off of Sam or anyone else if im trying to repair something, that would get me nowhere and I would never learn how to do it.

People depend on other people every day; whether it's good or bad. Preventing them is easy. I'm my own individual, I solve my problems alone, do my things by myself, and bein my own person. You can't depending on anyone else but yourself; this is what I believe.
