i wrote this essay for focus and im going to post it to see what you think.
Have you ever met a person who made you feel like you were the most beautiful human alive? Someone who every time you saw them, the sun became ever brighter? Someone who made all of your worries go away in an instant just because he has your hand in his?
I found this person in the beginning of high school, and not only has he given me confidence in myself, and stopped me from making mistakes, that I’m sure I would regret, but he has changed my life in the best way possible. He showed me what love really is.
Before I met him I was a lonely person. I didn’t have many friends, and I had no fulfillment in myself whatsoever, I always thought of myself as a wallflower, and someone who meant absolutely nothing. I considered myself an incomplete person. I was so confused about life, boys, and starting high school with barely any friends didn’t make it any easier.
He spoke to me first; it was one of those get-to-know-each other-activities that our teachers put together. Coincidentally he was in my group. I tried to be as social as possible, but when he talked to me, I couldn’t get anything half-intelligent to come out of my mouth. About two weeks later, he stopped me and talked to me, and told me to say “hi” once in a while. And after that, every time I saw him in the hallways, I gave him a coy smile, and bashfully said “hi”.
He’s impacted me with his positivistic sense, all of his talents, and the way he seems to make me happy every time he looks at me. He gave me the inspiration to start writing poetry. His love for music made me want to try it, so I started taking piano lessons, and his love for the snow made me want to try snowboarding. I never would have done those things without his influence; I can’t even imagine the type of person I would be without him. All I do know is that he has made me a by far greater, person, and I wouldn’t ask for anyone else.
I met a person who made me feel beautiful. I met a person who, every time I saw him, the sun became even brighter. I met a person who makes all my worries go away, just because my hand is in his.
I love the person I am now, and I feel so lucky to have what I have. I never would have felt this way without him, and I know now, that you never know what to expect in the future. I thought high school was going to be the worst kind of hell, but in reality, it became the best kind of heaven.
