The Greatest Battle You Will Ever Face is the Battle to be Yourself
Finding the person you really are is a life-long journey. The people you hang out with, your family, what you listen to and what you watch on television all affect the person you become. My Biology teacher once told me “Everyone is born a scientist.

Those people you hang out with greatly affect the things you say, what you watch and listen to and sometimes the way you treat others. There are many groups of people in school: the jocks, the nerds, the gothics, the religious people, ect. If you take the chance and become a part of one of these cliques, the challenge of finding who you are is tested. You
