My Heroic Journey: Magical Weapons

I believe that I have many skills and abilities that will be able to help me in the journey

through life. I am determined to succeed, a quick learner, and patient. I am also a helper and the

investigative type. Many different things have shaped me to become how I am today to be able to

have the confidence in succeeding that I have at this time in life.

After my family got out of the financial situation that we were in, I am determined to do

nothing but succeed because I never want to go back to how things were. When I have children, I

do not want them to ever have to experience what I did and I want them to be able to have

whatever they want. I also enjoy helping others, especially my closest friends because I want

them to all succeed and have great lives. When I know my friends are good and are on their own

path to success and they are getting done what needs to be done it makes me worry less about the

future. Although, sometimes I need to remember to not always put too much energy in others and

to remember to remain focused on my own goals because if I am waste too much time on

someone who is not trying to succeed, then I will fall behind in my own journey.

I have always been a quick learner, whether it has been in school or outside of school.

Especially when it comes to subjects like math or science. I have always been ahead in school in

those subjects and excelled in them with little struggle. Since I am the investigator type it also

helps with being a quick learner. I find the information that I want and put it to use in whatever

way I need that information. When I go to college I plan on making my life strictly about school

so that I can make sure I succeed and always be ahead in my classes to make everything easier

for me in the long run of college.

Lastly, when it comes to school and learner, I can be extremely patient. The only times I

get frustrated with school and homework is when I spend hours trying to understand something

or get stuck trying to do a problem for an extended amount of time. I assume that in college it

will be a little different and that when something like that happens that I will go see a tutor for

extra help. I do need to work on my patience with people though. After I have been extremely

patient with someone and they do not even trying listening to me, I can get annoyed and snap.

Sometimes even when I am just stressed or just not having a good day and someone talks to me,

I can just get really annoyed and snap on that person for no reason when they have done nothing

wrong to me. I need to try to work on that, but I also feel like, in time, I will hopefully grow out

of it.

In my journey through life, I feel like all my skills and abilities will help me greatly in

accomplishing my goals. For someone like me, my skills and abilities fit me perfectly. Even

though some of them are not perfect right now, I still have time to grow and fix my errors.
