In the past, I always thought that I know myself. Actually, I did not. I had trouble answering knowing-myself questions. There was one time I got a failing grade on one assignment where I had to answer a knowing-myself question. It was about someone else instead of me. When I was in high school, I did not research on the Internet and thought clearly about what I wanted to do for my future. I cared about my wild fantasies too much that I did not put myself first. As I grew up, I began to understand why I have to answer knowing-myself questions.

Knowing-myself questions help you understand who you are. Knowing who you are will help you make the right decisions. When you have to select a job or career, you have to know your strengths, limits, and fears. You have to ask yourself: Is this job or career right for my personality? Some people choose a job or career without considering their strengths, limits, and fears. Then, you have to do an interview. The interviewer asks you knowing-yourself questions. You have to know what the job or career means to you and how you will contribute to that job or career. If you are having trouble answering those interview questions, then how will you do your job or career?

Besides jobs or careers, there are other things to consider. You have to know what you look for in a relationship. You have to know if you want a family or not. You have to know why you are upset. As time goes by, there are more questions that we have to ask ourselves. Sometimes, the world will make us change how we view ourselves. No matter what, always know yourself and go with what you think is right for yourself.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

Pretty Little Liars

From reading the books in eighth grade to watching the television show all throughout high school, "Pretty Little Liars"basically defined my teenage existence. I was completely and totally obsessed on all accounts. However, even though I loved the fact that the books and the show are starkly different, there are simply just some ways in which the books are much better. Let's take a look:

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.

Why The United Nations Is Key For The World

The United Nations (UN) has been in existence since June of 1945. Since then, the world has come together to work on and solve some of the harshest problems that face the Human Race. Be it children in societal ills like Human Trafficking, natural issues like Deforestation, or issues of extreme poverty, the UN has worked together in an attempt to make it a better place for us all. It's the only organization in the history of the world to bring people together in a willing, peaceful way; a feat that not even the League of Nations could do in the Post- WWI era. Why was it that one organization failed, and the other one is still going strong, 72 years later?
