**__Personal Philosophy:__** Everyone is constantly obsessed with the question, "what do i want to be when i grow up?", well i believe that we should be obsessed with the question, "who are we now?". Every new day, we are changed, we have learned something new and different that has challenged out beliefs, making us even more unique and interesting. Every day we grow up. Everyone in life has their highs and lows, their fears and loves, whether they are small things or life changing decisions, it is all important. And by not giving up, by keeping the hope in yourself, this is what makes you who you are. Through these oppurtunities in your life you are creating yourself. With the help of those around us, you can discover, you. I believe you shouldn't live to make youself who you want or what you want to be in the future, instead, discover who you are right now.

[|life's like this] that's the way it is

 Please allow me to introduce myself Wh en I saw it was a time for a change Is the nature of my game. No one is telling me the speed I should be travelling So watch me take the lead The soul that is within me no man can degrade
