Changing Priorities

By Angela Gonzalez

Through the years my personality has changed as also my priorities have. I remember when I was 13 years old. Sharing time with my mother was something very important to me because I felt lonely and insecure if I was alone, whereas at present I want to be more independent and I always try to do things by myself without asking help to my mother so I’ve been trying to look for a job because I want to start saving money to my future and I need it also every day to commute to go to college. The school was boring but I was always worried about my exams and homework. Perhaps studies are so much funnier currently because they are what I chose. At 13 years old, I was always taking care of my dog since I love animals, especially dogs. Also I liked having friends because I was the youngest in my family and I didn’t have sisters or brothers to play with, so I needed friends. Perhaps at 21 years old, I have had some problems because I haven’t got enough time to share with friends or family because I have to focus on my studies rather than my hobbies. And because of that, I have come to the conclusion that we have to think about what is most important in life and not let ourselves be carried away with the music or momentary things.
