Has there ever been an experience that not only altered your development, but also recalibrated your entire life? If you asked me this question, I would answer yes with great exuberance. I would also say that this happened barely a month ago. I state this response with great joy simply because I appreciate the recalibration I have faced, as this change can enhance my brighter future. It allowed me to discover my true passions and realize my true dislikes. More importantly, it gave me a new sense of maturity. I feel like I didn't win! But to explain this adjustment that crossed my path, the reader must understand what and how my life was lived before. Following this, I can describe the events in my experience that led to the pep talk that inspired me to make the essential change to improve my future. Before I begin, I have to say that I no longer advocate “partying.” it is incongruous with my amended code of ethics. I also realized that I am too young to participate in such things. By keeping it as short as possible, my life revolved around work and encouraging good times. Living in a completely fantasy world, I felt like I had no responsibilities, no worries and only one rule; don't joke. What I didn't realize was that I had responsibilities to myself that I simply didn't realize. This led to a proliferation of problems, whether related to school or my family situation. The worst part was that I was completely apathetic about the trouble I was causing. I was only interested in the pathetic pleasures associated with either smoking, drinking, clubbing, or even a combination of the three. Soon my perspective of fast living was abruptly hindered when I was in the middle of paper......knowing what I truly love and what makes me have a great future. Although I continue to make changes to succeed, I have been incredibly lucky to understand this now instead of learning it the hard way. Plus, I exude confidence knowing that I can be happy without subjecting myself to the harmful things I've done (I hate the idea of ​​smoking, drinking, and dancing in a mosh pit of sweaty children). I feel blessed to know that I still have a chance and to know that I am competent enough to prove to everyone that I can succeed. I am very satisfied knowing the challenge that awaits me, knowing that it will not be easy, but I am ready, I want, no one can stop me, and I have great potential that I do not even have still exploited and which will allow me to achieve my objective. I am also incredibly proud to say that I owe all of this to my father, who has been and I know will always be there for me..
