It’s difficult to finding meaning in life when you are surrounded by hundreds of people, each with their own story and their own life to live. Life can seem meaningless, day in and day out continuing with the same things, but it’s in that bleakness that we find meaning. Our friends, our connections, our hobbies, the things and people we love – they all bring meaning to our life. My life matters because I have individuals who count on me and who I know will support me, people who love me and wish the best for me. My life matters because I have goals, and as someone who is very determined, I want to be able to achieve those goals; whether those goals be academic or personal. There are so many things to strive to, so many things to do in this world. It’s important to find meaning in everything you do, and I’m very lucky to be able to do so.
