The person I admire the most is myself because I consider myself a strong and
characterful person too, I am a persevering person and despite the adversities I can go
through I always find a solution to get out of it. Although we have all gone through
difficult situations in which each person lives it differently and has different coping
methods, each story is different for each person and is what they are forging us as
human beings.
When I was a child I did not feel understood by others, I felt that no one understood me,
I thought I was a difficult person to deal with, during my childhood and adolescence they
told me that I was a complicated or very complex person, that it was an enigma; when I
received those comments I did not know how to take them and I thought there was
something wrong with me.
I could say that he was a person who felt strong emotions and thought that people
couldn't like it because of that.

I began to receive help but I still felt invalidated by my way of expressing my emotions.
There was a stage in my adolescence that marked me a lot and it has been one of the
greatest tests of perseverance I have ever had. I was inside a depressive and anxious
picture, the sadness I felt was deep and I felt lost and aimless; I was too irritated and
had explosion attacks, I slept most of the time and I didn't want to do anything other
than watch movies, I felt very lonely and I felt that no one could understand me.

The only place where I felt safe and supported was in the music room of my school
where I took my piano lessons, I was going to practice the piano at recess time since I
had no one to live with during the recess.
One day I decided that I was going to get ahead and that I didn't want to stay in that
state anymore so I had to take responsibility and take action on how I wanted to feel
and what I wanted to do, it was not easy but I was able to get ahead even though I felt
very depressed, I managed to take action on what I needed to do and began to
overcome the circumstance that kept me in the depressive picture. It was a very difficult
stage for me in which it took me a little to overcome that situation because they made
me feel that it was not that bad or that I exaggerated a lot about what was happening to
me, I felt that they invalidated my emotions, despite the fact that those comments they
made hurt me, fortunately I was able to overcome it and get ahead by myself.

Currently it is an experience that reminds me a lot about my perseverance and how

strong I can become in any situation even though I feel very vulnerable and sometimes I
can't find a way out.
