Well, I beat chronic depression. I am a fighter, I hate being weak, and having a mental disorders that messes up with your ability to think like a reasonable human being is horrible. But, I never stopped fighting against it, and given enough time I beat it.
I dated an abusive guy for quite some time. I never let him physically abuse me, if he tried I would fight him back. He was predominantly verbally and emotionally abusive, but every time he would try to blackmail me, slander me, etc I would point it out how wrong he is, I would get angry and defend my integrity.
And given enough will power, I managed to leave him. If you know anything about abusive relationships, leaving is the hardest part. It's like you are physically and emotionally dependent on a person, addicted to a person.
If I was not a fighter, with so much ambition, I would not be in law school. I would not even speak English properly. I cannot stop myself from progressing, I need to continuously improve myself, learn more, know more, be better, be more understanding, more rational, more mature, kinder, etc... I also inadvertently seek for my surroundings to be proud of me, to acknowledge that I am worthy to them.
I do not care about being better than others, but I do seek recognition from those I love and care about that I am valuable to them. I have always felt like others did not see me as important, as existent, as worthy. So I compensate for that by being a better person, and it kills me when someone I love does not treat me as valuable or worthy to them.
I'm only a 14 year old girl. But in school, you know all the snobby girls you get and the two-facedism you have to deal with? Yeah, that's changed me... I have become a fairly stubborn, not cold hearted but stubborn person who is not willing to forgive early enough or 'get over it' as I'm daily told I need to do, but I do love people and care for others a lot which is why I don't class my self as cold hearted.
I'm not selfish; I just look out for myself but people don't like it only because when I first joined this school in in last year, I was really nice. I let people walk all over me and I'm not like that anymore.. Which is why I'm lonely and I don't think it's my fault. I'm also the type of person not to say sorry in situations because I hardly thin I'm wrong unless I bump into someone or whatever.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
