My generation is all busy going to parties, without worrying about school as they say "live for today, party tomorrow". Everyone wants to be successful or just be "rich" but they don't know that in life things don't come to you, you have to chase your goals. There is always pressure everywhere at school, at work and even sometimes at home. The environment I live in is really not as amazing as we imagine, anyone with a weak mind can be influenced easily but I don't let anything in this world influence me, only my parents' words can enter my head as long as they have the right to , sometimes we teenagers believe it I know everything but as I grew up everything my parents said, it happened I know they have already experienced at least half of my future, they know what it means to fight to know what it means to have nothing and if not you work hard, you can't expect great things to come easily into your hands but also and most importantly understand what is the purpose of your being here on earth, how I grew up and the way everything surrounds me and how life is going I feel like if I came here for one reason and that is to be a leader and help anyone who needs me. I am a leader not only someone who can guide you with anything but also an open minded person who always learns from others and also from himself, a continuous life lesson and I realized that during my second year of high school, my freshman year, it wasn't as amazing as I had planned, something that would change my life forever, I experienced what is called "bullying of groups of girls who repeatedly said they would hurt me, I was scared , it was terrible the feeling of not letting me sleep at night and being distracted while I was... middle of paper... every peer leader helped my classmates with their homework senior year, which I know is really important to all of us, I spend four days at Monmouth University, rooming with strangers who have become family to me, working hard for hours to prepare everything from our personal statement to learning how to fill out all the college applications to teaching others. I met many people, listening to their stories and learning to appreciate everything filled me with a lot of joy, as you can see, helping others helps me too, because from every good thing, the result is always something so surprising and unexpected. Would you ever make the same decision again? Obviously I am who I am because of all the decisions I have made in my life, from supporting and helping others, being a peer leader is not a choice, it's just who I am and it comes from the heart
