1. Are you still seeking the joy in your life? If so, do you know what you are seeking?
Yes, of course. The most important thing you should do is first find yourself, and when you do this you can joy your life.
Now I think I'm enjoying all what I do, and also there are some times when I just want to leave everything and stay alone but that’s why I always remember what is my purpose in my life, and if you don’t have one, it’s time to find your way.

2. If you have found the joy in your life, what is it?
First what gives me joy and sense to my life is my family because I know I can trust in all of them: my two sisters, my mother and father. They give me support and they are my real and unique confident.
So with all of this values I have learnt from them, I know my life is in my hands and that’s why the joy in my life depends only on me.

3. For what or whom do you live?
I live to be someone different in this world, I live for my family who is my complement but especially I live for my own self, to improve and to meet my goals.
And one of my principal goals is being a professional sociology, and with my career makes the world a better place, like the song says.

4. Since we don’t have the power to live life over and do it all differently, what things would you change today if you could, in order to end up where you want to be in life?
I think with each experience in our lives we learn something different. Sometimes we don’t understand why things happen to us, but at the end everything is a result of our actions or thoughts. So I accept what life gives me but however, there are some situations that I would like to change like when my parents worried about me and I didn't care, or when sometimes I told the inappropriate words. I’m sure everything I have decided, helped me to be where I am and who I am. The last part of the question was: where I want to

    If I could change anything about the last four years of my life, I know of a few things I would rewrite. To begin, I would remind myself to stress less about petty things, and instead focus on the reality. I would tell myself that my real friends would reveal themselves, and to sooner accept that not all childhood friends would stay. Furthermore, after finding those true friends, I should have valued our time together more. This I realize as my best friend leaves for the Navy in July. Additionally, I would tell myself to not hold back; to try new things. Whether it be dance team, working in retail or a mission trip, I wish I would have allowed myself for these various new experiences. Lastly, I would have myself visit my grandma more frequently before her…

    The 2016 election has brought a lot of attention to the electoral college after Hilary Clinton lost the election even though she had two million more votes than her opponent. The effects of the electoral college can make or break you in an election. So, should the electoral college stay or go? I believe that it should go. With the electoral college giving more votes to some states than others, campaigning usually is hit harder in the states with more votes. Because the popular vote does not fully count to towards the winner of the election; it causes a smaller voter turnout.…

    Deciding to embrace happiness on any level is an individual choice, not determined by the wealth of a neighbor, the home dreamed of nightly or continuous regrets of what could have been, the definition lies deep within, a personal journey that includes a set of values, that are part of your childhood and life’s lessons. Truly, some of the things named could create a temporary fulfillment, but none of these would be an everlasting argument for what created a happy life and they single-handedly do not define happiness in…

    There was a time in my life when I had plenty of time to dedicate to myself and all of the things I enjoy. I could spend the whole day in my garden, at the river fishing, or even experimenting with a new receipt in the kitchen. Everyone thought that I had it made, but in my eyes I felt like I was inadequate. My relationship with my husband was strained, and I could not help feeling that I could not give my children the life skills they needed to succeed. Then my husband got in a car accident and almost lost his life; it was during that time I started to think about what I wanted in life, the type of person I was, and wanted to be. I thought to myself “If my husband would have died I would not be able to provide for my family”, so I did some soul searching and came to the conclusion that I needed to make some big changes in my life.…

    I began to think this way about a year ago, when I went through one of the toughest times in my life. I had never been the kind of person who would take insane chances, or even chances for myself. I made sure I was the one who was always there to help my friends but never made time for me. As if it were fate’s way of telling me it was finally time to live for myself, I was presented with an opportunity that deemed irresistible and I was unable to turn away from it. Taking that one chance changed my life; it flipped my entire world as I knew it upside down and left me on completely unknown grounds. From then on I was forced to build myself from practically nothing. Going through this, I built my personal philosophy of living for the moment, because that instant when I decided to do just that changed my life forever and for the better.…

    If you knew that today was your last day on Earth what would you look back on and wish you could change? I strive to make my answer to that absolutely nothing because there isn’t anything I would regret more than living a life full of regrets, full of wishing I had done something differently. We should never regret our decisions, no matter how terrible life seems at the moment. Everything that happens in life makes us the exact person we are meant to be. “You can’t change who people are without destroying who they were.” This is a quote from one of my favorite movies, The Butterfly Effect. In the movie the main character goes back in time to change events he thinks could have had a better outcome. In the end he realizes that these things had to happen for the future to be perfect, just the way it was. Knowing this we need to figure out one thing; how can we live life with no regrets? It seems to be an impossible task in a world that will coldly turn its back on you at any given moment. A form of jujutsu, called Aikido, gives us one answer. In this graceful and beautiful sport you blend with the motion of your attacker and redirect the force of their attack rather than facing it head on. Morihei Ueshiba, the creator of Aikido, envisioned it not only as the synthesis of his martial arts training, but “as an expression of his personal philosophy of universal peace and reconciliation.” We should use this philosophy and apply it to our regrets. Take them and mold them to create a positive outcome. They are like the anchors of our lives. You can either let them drown you or you can use them to hold you down, keep you steady. A short time ago I did something that I thought I would regret for the rest of my life. I ended relationships with friends I had known for over 10 years. I would sit around upset, knowing they were off having fun without me. I second guessed myself terribly. It wasn’t until the end of the summer that I could finally look back and see that if I…
