However, I am the type of person who looks at my past no matter how bad certain things could be, from failing a test to getting a detention or something worse, and look back at it as creating the man I am today. Without all those mistakes, I wouldn’t be who I am. When I look at myself in the mirror, I am happy, understanding my accomplishments, and how I turned those bad experiences to further myself as a person. I have shared that same knowledge with others to help them understand to create a more positive outlook. The good after the effects that the bad experiences in my life have created are immeasurable, and it is clear to me that the good has been so much more beneficial. When I had the bad experiences I didn’t see anything good, I didn’t see a happy future at first, but when time passed I was able to see who I had started to become as a result of those experiences.
