Self-Reliance By. Lauren Williams
I remember a time when a friend of mine put me down when I first started high school, about my work ethics. She said that I wasn’t serious about it and that I relied on others for almost everything.
Before I would depend on other people. • I know now that I have to take things more seriously. • I realized that I have to be more independent and do things for myself. I learned to be independent and relied more on myself…
A quote that really relates to my story is one by Raymond Hull He said “He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away” This quote really speaks to me because I don’t wan to be like everyone else. I want to be able to do things for myself without relying on others.
I learned that I can’t rely on others for things that I should do for myself. When my friend said that I relied to much on people made me realize that she was right. Then I decided to become more independent.
Then one day I realized what I had to do. I had to figure things out for myself. You know like think more for myself without having to ask people for help all the time and being able to develop my own thought process.
