Who Am I?

        My name is Briana. I am a seventeen-year-old senior in high school. I am a person of class and good character. My favorite colors are pink and purple. I am hard working, responsible and a leader. I am known to be a good friend, sweet and caring towards others. Reading, shopping, playing sports and spending time with family and friends are some of the things that I enjoy doing. I like learning and going to school. Whenever a task is assigned to me, I get it done ahead of time and put 100 percent into it. Girl Scouts has become more than an extra-curricular activity for me. It brings out the best in my qualities and me. I love giving back; knowing that I am a making a difference in someone else is life for the better.

      My morals have kept me strong and have constructed me into the young lady I am today. I value any relationship I have in my life, such as God, my family and friends. Security, trust love and tranquility are some of the values that have a meaning to me. Faithfulness is the most important value in my life. The other values that I mentioned for me all connect with faithfulness. I feel like without having some trust in God, your faith can be weak. Not loving God means that you might not believe in him and what he wants to accomplish in your life. And not being a little tranquil with what God is doing for you means that you do not have trust nor love for his present/ future doings.

       I am a Christian. I do go to Church as many times as I can and want to. Being raised to have faith in God and to go to Church allows me to learn more about him and what he wants from me as his child. My relationship with God is very personal. I think that if you pray, then things can tend to be easier because God is there helping you and is not going to let you fall completely. Every morning I pray to God, asking him to help me get through the day with a positive attitude. I always thank him for the blessings I have and also talk to him about the worries and struggles I might be facing in the present. I definitely believe that everything happens for a reason in which God made it to be. Even though I might not always understand why, it tends to show in the long run. It’s ironic that when God tells us to not have anxiety about our problems when he knows, it is hard for me to not stress out and think the worst. I am confident that Heaven is up there and one day when I leave this Earth, that I will be there with him. All of my beliefs are very important to me because they allow me to not feel lost in the spiraling world, but closer to God.

      Being experienced to culture is exciting for me. I am African American. I like being submerged in a different culture because it enables me to meet new people and learn about who makes up our society today. I have different races in my family by marriage; such as Hispanic, Caucasian and multi-racial backgrounds, specifically on my mom’s side. I love my family the way it is because its not just one color. It is a big melting pot filled with beautiful colors and backgrounds that make my family and I unique. I hope in life that everything that I have worked for, want to do and accomplish comes true. I want to go to the college of my choice and graduate school to become a successful Intellectual Property/Trademark Lawyer. However, I want to be happy and positive with whatever I choose and have no regrets.
