Looking at Myself

, I’m Cyrus, an 18 year-old teen who believes that having a positive

mindset brings positive things to each one of us. Every time I want to talk to
people, I always look directly into their eyes. As thought by my past experiences,
eyes will tell a lot about them and will help you to build a greater connection with
their views and topic you want to talk about. I use this strategy when I look in the
mirror because this helps me to understand myself better and find the meaning
behind my actions, perspectives and values in life.

I am a fan of eating because of the unmatched satisfaction it gives me,

especially when I have a chance to try that particular flavor for the first time or
after a long period of time. Even though I eat a lot, I didn’t gain much weight
which is why I look quite thin by having a tall height. One of the most noticeable
features is having poor eyesight which is why ophthalmologists suggest that I need
to wear glasses in order to compensate for this deficiency.

By having new experiences from day-to-day interactions with everyone, I

finally understand that the world is viewed differently by each one of us. This
developed my personality of being considerate with each other's opinions and
beliefs on the different situations we faced in our lives. I also try as much as I can
to reach people's thoughts before saying anything. This is because there are some
things that they didn’t want to talk about therefore I try to avoid it as much as I
can during a conversation. Speaking of having a conversation or communicating
with others, I always have difficulty when talking, especially with the people I
meet for the first time therefore it needs to take a significant period of time in order
to express myself freely to them.

Just like the majority of teens like me, I enjoy both quiet and crowded places
but also limitations with each. I have fun by just sitting alone or with companions
where we just have fun watching movies or listening to each other's thoughts
about personal experiences and views on the current situations. But there are times
when our group of friends decide to go to a theme park or engage in swimming
where there are a lot of people to meet. This makes me more conscious about
myself but also enjoy the feeling of being with everyone.
I always admire people who stayed positive in whatever challenges or
unwanted situations they faced in their lives. I want to be one of those people and
become a better person who can also encourage others, especially the younger ones
on developing a more mature mindset but also always have a way of having fun
and enjoying things along the way. This way of thinking is taught by people
surrounding me, particularly my parents and God who always guide me along the
way. This is why I truly care for everyone who is being part of my life, my pets, my
friends, and my family which I express by trying my best to become the listener
who they can talk to. I am very excited to embrace the future where I am shaped
by my present actions which I developed carefully by learning from the past.
