If you could change one thing in life, what would it be? Would it be something that's under your control, or completely out of your hands? I could wish for a different hair color and more height, or want to change who I hang out with and how hard I work at things. But none of this would benefit me. Yes, I know it could be of benefit, but then it wouldn't make me who I am right now.

Many people will tell you to look in the mirror and ask if you like what you see. Are you happy with who you are? Do you make yourself proud enough to smile when you see yourself in the mirror? Maybe all you see are the mistakes. Many people can get discouraged by this. I see it as opportunity and personality...character, even.

If I was given the option to change anything about me or my life, I would happily decline. Although I have been through many a tough time in my life and am not always happy with decisions made, situations I've been put into, how I look, or high school in general, I would want to keep it all the same. I wouldn't change it because if I had made any changes to that, who would I be today? Who would my friends be? All the little flaws have helped me to grow and to learn. You can't go through life without a few bumps and bruises.
