The Little things about life. by Rebecca

The Little things about life. by Rebecca - June 2014 Scholarship Essay

If I were to write a book it would be about my journey through life itself. I have been through a lot in life, for only being 17, I have been through love and loss. It isn't the conventional love and loss, I have lost family and people who I cared about that were my friends that felt like family, and I lost them in an instant due to life and other people getting involved. Even though it sounds silly that a 17-year-old girl who just graduated high school could be through a lot, but its true, I have been through bullying and depression due to the bullying and had people who did bully me became my friends and helped me through.

The book that I would write would be about self-help and learning to love yourself for who you are and to not be afraid to be you, I think that it would be a big help to young kids and teens and even adults who have that little part of them that they are a little bit afraid to show and let people be who they are. I know that there is a lot of books about that specific books based on this but I believe that everybody has their own view on how to help people, and I think that people could use a different view on this because as I was always told, everybody has their own personal quirks that make them unique and maybe for others looking at things differently will help someone see the big picture. There is a certain finesse to everybody to have their own help and we all need to find that and if I could write a book that would help just one person see something that they missed for the bigger picture even if it's just a little thing like just wondering what they could do different and what they want to be. Even if it's just looking at something and thinking "Huh that makes sense." I want to do something like that for somebody. I want to create something that will make people feel better and create something that will be there for people when they have nowhere ells to turn to.
