My life matters because it is absolutely precious. As someone who has been through so much I have realized it is my duty to make sure others realize their life has a meaning. Everyone belongs in this world and everyone has a purpose. Personally, I am in college and I have not even lived half my life yet. I have so many experiences I have yet to explore. My life matters because I have career goals. My goal is to be a state trooper and carry around teddy bears for children who have been hurt at the hands of other people. I love to help people and make them feel wanted, loved, and cherished. There was a club in High school that my sister and I started called Bring Change to Mind. I was the vice president of this club and it sadly ended when I graduated. COVID-19 in a way made the club come to an end. We had an event where we talked to middle schoolers about stress, anxiety and many other topics involving mental health. Talking to these kids made me realize how my life mattered and how these kids reminded me of myself. I was once that kid who had a speech impediment and overcame so many struggles involving my mental health. Currently where I work it’s impossible to walk around not smiling. People working in the food industry have to walk around with a smile on their face which was very hard for me months ago. I constantly smile and hand out orders to just give someone a reason to smile back. I want everyone to feel like someone is happy to see them. People have no clue how a single smile can make someone feel. I love seeing people happy and that makes me continue my journey of life.
