When I am a senior, I want to be confident in the person that I am, to look back on my life and be happy with the choices I made. I want to be different, to not care about how others see me, only how I see myself. I want to make an impact on someone's life whether it be big or small, and to feel like I am finally important to somebody. I chose this image because it shows the confidence I hope to have as I grow older. Holding my head high and trying my hardest not to look back. It shows that I want to be someone who is real; someone who doesn't hide herself with a mask but instead takes it off. It shows that I want to be free. Not to be held down by the pressures of society but to be stronger then that; and to never let my happiness depend on others.

 

There are so many things I hope to be once I've reached the end of high school. So many things I would like to change about myself. And its not going to be easy, in fact its probably going to be really hard. But I think that if you really want something bad enough, nothing in the world should ever be able stop you. Over these next four years I hope to slowly become the person I have always wanted to be. I know that I cannot change the way people view me. My identity is something with many different faces. Every person you meet will identify you differently, but none of that should ever compare to the importance of how you view yourself.
