Nowadays, a lot of people suffer from depression and anxiety.

Unfortunately, during the


pandemic, I have been diagnosed with this and I don't want you to feel pity for me because
that situation takes me where I am right now. This process was very hard and reflective for
me and for that reason I'm writing this now. I know that there outside there are a lot of
people who are passing the same or even worst situations that I passed. Nevertheless, this
topic is not taken with the necessary relevance, people think that people with anxiety or
depression are just taking advantage of the situation or attracting attention without taking
into account that we don´t know what they are feeling and how they are handling it. As a
person who suffers from depression, I can make sure that those kinds of people are a little
bit braver than others. They have to cope with their problems and even with society's
prejudices. In addition, throughout the begging of this sickness, I've coped with panic
attaches, anxiety, and an empty feel. All my days were the same, I didn't find the sense to
continue living. It was so hard to even with psychological help and that was thanks to the
program which gives me the scholarship 'cause without its help I couldn't be able to be here.
If I had to be very honest I should say that I didn't believe this. There was a very deep
moment in my life when I can't find an exit to all those problems I thought that all my life was
ended and one of my "safeguards" were books. Books were my safe place for a long time. I
found there another world, a new universe fulfilled with different realities and possibilities. I
could see myself being part of that wonderful world. Studying outside, meeting friends, and
being a participant in that reality. From there begins my dream to study outside. From the
incessant wish to achieve my dreams and create my own story. Since I was a little girl I
knew that I wanted to change the world and make a difference but obviously at that moment
I didn't know how I was going to make it a reality. Now, after 12 years ago, I know how to do
it. I am going to create a program that brings teenagers and their parents the opportunity to
grow. This program is going to collect some teenagers with different kinds of mental health-
related problems and ask them to let us know their mind and how it works. That system
could teach parents how to understand their kids and help them to overcome those
situations with their company and support.

As a conclusion, to make this idea a reality I need to improve my German level, as well as
my skills and capacities. For that, I’m decided to achieve my goals in German and be the
beginning of a change that is going to help a lot of people. I am going to make a change and
it would be very nice if you could be part of it.
