1. Describe the things you have done to be proud of yourself. I think my ability to draw is a thing to be proud of because I know not many people have the aptitude to do it. I think it’s a great way to express myself and when people look at the things I’ve drawn, they tell me it’s real good or they ask me what’s going on in the picture. When I tell them, they say that now they understand it or if it doesn’t look the way I want it to be portrayed to other people, I get constructive criticism in return. Another thing I am proud of is my mother and me being reunited. When I was younger, my mother and I had gotten separated because of my mother not being able to take care of me so I went into Foster Care. Now, after ten years, my cousins had found me on Facebook and then told my aunt. My aunt added me as well and told my mother. Since my phone number was on my page, she called it and we began talking about the things we’ve missed over the years. Now, I’m able to see her whenever she gets the chance to come over and we talk about the future we’ll have together as a family again. This achievement I’ve made is the one I’m definitely most proud of.
2. As teenagers, what do you have to deal with that your parents did not? I think the advancement in technology is the most common problems we have today based on the fact there is cyber-bullying. It causes kids to feel alone and put down when they believe they have no power over what people do or say online. Even if you’re the bully and you post something online you know you’ll end up regretting later, the delete button doesn’t work on everyone else’s profile but your own. People don’t realize the things you say or do hurt others. Some kids do it just because they’re bored and have too much time on their hands or they do it to be in the “in crowd” to get some laughs or a good reaction from their “so called”
