Be Your Own Hero

Don't rely on someone else to try to fix you.

Be Your Own Hero
Ms. Spaulding's Fourth Grade Class

I feel like there is always a time in our lives were we look for someone to save us. We want someone to fix and heal our wounds, to give us acceptance, and tell us everything is going to be okay. Having a person telling and saving you is amazing. But, you shouldn’t wait for someone to heal your wounds, make your own dreams happen.

We, as a society, like to rely on other people. Hey! That’s alright, though! You should have people to confide in and be able to tell them everything that you want to tell them. They should also give you support when you need it. But it is also alright to be your own hero. I used to think that my happiness relied on finding a guy to complete me. They would help me become a better me… that was an absolute lie. I thought that they would take care of me and support me. I realized I needed to do that for myself.

Happiness doesn’t lie in another person, it relies inside of yourself. You should be comfortable with yourself and make your own dreams come true. People leave all the time, there is no absolute promise other than their word that they will stay. (People also like to lie). You are the creator of your own happiness and only you can make yourself a better you. It is easy to fall in a habit where you believe that you need someone to complete you… I promise that they might fill a small void but it feels better to bring yourself your own satisfaction.

Work hard for your goals and strive to be a better person. When the time comes, you will find that person that will help you grow. Remember, though, it is not their job to complete you. That is one of the main reasons why relationships fail. Too many people rely on the other to make their dreams come true and places pressure on a person that they cannot handle. Relationships are supposed to be two people in mutual agreement that they want to be in each others lives but not necessarily become the person’s life.

I understand that this time of year is awful for some people, don't settle for less than you deserve. Don’t let a glorified f***boi of f***gurl make you feel worthless. You do not need someone to save you, you are perfect the way you are. Make yourself your own Knight in Shining Armor.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
