Arianna Smith “Unique”

My name is Arianna I’m hope I can help others that's something I want to do. Helping others is something I'm good at and something I believe is “ everyone has a gift it’s up to you to take advantage of that gift” I believe my gift is just that being able to help others when they are feeling blue is a special trait I have. There was a one point in my life I felt down for a long time it led me into a depressive state and I dug myself out of it. During that depressive state I had a really close friend of mine that as suicidal and she will self harm herself a lot. Every since then I’ve thought about being a therapist/counselor.Going through that in 7th grade and plenty more different instances in my lifetime it build me to be stronger and wiser. I have two little brothers they’re the reason i’m here today,since they are getting older i’ll be here to help them out if they ever need advice or just a hug. I learned from my past mistakes and experiences and will be here to help them when the time comes and whoever needs help. Everyone needs a helping hand at times or just someone there to listen. Growing up my mom always told me to join extra curricular activities and that helped a lot. I've been in choir,dance,
Feminist club and student in action. I’ve even made a step team with a group of my friends at my current high school.I love to write poetry and singing. I’m shy at times but that doesn't stop me Social anxiety sucks and I don't wish that on anyone I've struggled with it pretty much everyday,but I push through no matter the instance. I'm not going to let it get in the way of my wants and needs. All in all through every struggle I face I push through it all and I remain persistent I will continue to grow as a person.
