Writing
Personal Essay
Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a
different prompt, or one of your own design.
I think that humans will always have the ability to rise above any situation, because life is what you make of it. We
don’t know what life is or why we are in this world; all we know, all we feel, is that we must protect it anyway we
can. Hindus said it clearly: “Life is suffering.” Life is meant to be challenging, and truly living requires consistent
work and review. By default, life is hard because we must strive to earn happiness and success.

Yet I've find that life is capricious than I had imagined; it can disappear or change at any time. Several of my family
members left this world in one last beating symphony; heart attacks seem to be a trend in my family. They left like
birds; laughing one minute and in a better place the next.

W
Steve Jobs inspired me in his quote; he said "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people's thinking." I want to make mistakes,
because that is how I learn; I want to follow the beat of my own drum even if it is "out of tune." The important thing
is to live without regrets, so when my heart stops to beat, it will make one last happy note and move on.

I want to live my life daily. Every day I want to live. Every morning when I wake up, I want to be excited by the gift

IE
of a new day. I know I am being idealistic and young, and that my philosophy on life is comparable to a calculus
limit; I will never reach it. But I won't give up on it because, I can still get infinitely close and that is amazing.

Every day is an excuse to my humanity; because I am not perfect, I get to try again and again to "get it right." I
breathe the peace of eternity, knowing that this stage is temporary; real existence is continuous. The hourglass of
EV
life incessantly trickles on and we are powerless to stop it.

So, I will forgive and forget, love and inspire, experience and satire, win and lose, laugh and cry, accomplish and
fail, live and die. This is how I want to live my life, with this optimistic attitude that every day is a second chance.
